Literally the first thing I do on every new computer I’ve used in the last 20 years or so is change the setting to show all file extensions. It’s always been scummy of Microsoft to hide those details and can only be justified at all by the notion that they want to make people dependent on their icons…which is a decent business justification and a horrible moral justification.
Shout out to that time when I was like 11 and tried to download a lil bow wow song and my sister and I were greeted with a full screen p-in-v POV amateur porn on the family computer.
linkin_park-numb.mp3.exe.rar.zip
It has mp3 in the name. Must be ok.
It’s cool, it’s probably just self extracting. For convenience!
I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn’t be bothered to use 7zip.
Soulja boy used to do this but instead of executables he’d put his songs. Genius strategy.
Joke’s on you, I used Kazaa.
Anyone who was anyone used emule.
Miss the times of downloading a mp3 by leaving the pc turned on the whole night.
I love Linkin Park but I use Linux.
And it doesn’t run .exe
So sad. :(
And in the end,

Honestly, I’m surprised it took this long for it to come up.
Someone once said that using limewire was like having unprotected sex with the internet and that person was right.
