The Bashrc Prank Even Prison Fears
Description
A three-panel, gray-walled prison cartoon shows a huge, scowling inmate in an orange uniform sitting beside a tiny, expressionless inmate and asking, "WHAT YOU IN FOR?" The small inmate answers that he added `'alias python=echo "bash: python: command not found"'` to a friend's `.bashrc`. In the final panel the previously intimidating prisoner bolts away sweating and shouts "DUDE, WTF?!" while the smaller figure remains motionless; `devme.me` and `imgflip.com` watermarks appear in the corners. The prank persistently shadows the real `python` command with a shell alias that prints a plausible missing-command error, making ordinary interpreter troubleshooting look like a configuration or installation failure.
