Should be Piss::off() right now its redundant

👍

What would the Piss::on() method do?

@Ocramius

@rdohms yeah, but then your API endpoints would return Piss, which I'm sure they do in your case, but you'd probably not want your app to piss all over the place...

how about PissOff::rly()

@rdohms

rdohms commented Mar 10, 2016

then how about: PissOff::now() ?

@QuingKhaos

PissOff::wanker() :trollface:

Needs tests, then it's production ready.

@rdohms and then PissOff::createFromFormat()?

@patkar suggestion approved. Updating the gist.

Too much code. I always wanted to add a new function to PHP, 'motherfucker', which when used as an argument would cause random file system activity, hopefully deletion.

This code would then truly express my intent when PHP does my head in:

die(motherfucker(die)));

The more die values, the more the file system suffers...

@heiglandreas

I'd return a new PissOff() in fortunately_you_can_tell_your_users_to_piss_off() to reduce the redundancy.

And may I suggest a different naming perhaps? https://youtu.be/qJMqdTr7IQM

@RWOverdijk the fact that you are not a minority does make that comment moot :D

Where i work, we all have this in our shell startups:

alias fuckit="sudo"
alias I_quit="rm -fr /"

Then, one day, when it's all too much you can just do

$ fuckit I_quit

and start walking....

You need to add --no-preserve-root

This version won't even let you assign it to a variable (made it really fast and it's just a joke):

<?php

class Untouchable {
    private static $count;
    private static $register = [];
    private $id;

    public static function create()
    {
        return new self(self::$count++);
    }
    public static function check()
    {
        echo 'Checking...'.PHP_EOL;
        if (count(self::$register)) {
            throw new Exception('Can\'t touch this');
        }
    }
    private function __construct($id)
    {
        $this->id = $id;
        self::$register[$this->id] = true;
    }
    public function __destruct()
    {
        echo 'I was destroyed: '.$this->id.PHP_EOL;
        unset(self::$register[$this->id]);
    }
}

declare(ticks=1);
register_tick_function([Untouchable::class, 'check']);

function foo(): Untouchable {
    return Untouchable::create();
}

foo();
$a = foo(); // Cant touch this
echo 'end of script'.PHP_EOL;
