Title: Google weirdness
Post by: Fansome on July 13, 2018, 0228 UTC
I somehow managed to trigger the dialog below by typing in a certain phrase to Google. Anyone know what it's about? It shows up in what appears to be terminal screen.

Viz:

Google has a code challenge ready for you.
Been here before?

This invitation will expire if you close this page.

Success! You've managed to infiltrate Commander Lambda's evil organization, and finally earned yourself an entry-level position as a Minion on her space station.

From here, you just might be able to subvert her plans to use the LAMBCHOP doomsday device to destroy Bunny Planet. Problem is, Minions are the lowest of the low in the Lambda hierarchy. Better buck up and get working, or you'll never make it to the top...

For a list of commands type help. To get started with your first challenge type request.

You've stumbled upon the counterrevolution to the rodent revolution!

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

You both may be right.

It's a code challenge. I passed the first test and was rewarded with a large animated ASCII image of a rabbit hopping from one edge of the screen to the other. There are apparently five levels in total; we'll see what happens.

Stick your head in an owl burrow ASAP, Al. Your brain is overheating.

"Belinda" brings up a singing manatee and old Go-Go's vids.

I don't like the looks of this:

When you went undercover in Commander Lambda's organization, you set up a coded messaging system with Bunny Headquarters to allow them to send you important mission updates. Now that you're here and promoted to Henchman, you need to make sure you can receive those messages - but since you need to sneak them past Commander Lambda's spies, it won't be easy!

Manatees are well known for faithfully delivering messages.
