I'd love ideas for how to intentionally "break" my terminal so that one of these 4 things happen:

1. backspace doesn’t work, it prints ^H instead
2. terminal won't echo my characters when you type them
3. the line not breaking, and the terminal pasting new characters over old ones
4. overflowing the line, and when I backspace, the line is poorly redrawn

ideally I'd love steps that are:

a) specific
b) close to something that might "realistically” happen while using the terminal normally

@Mastodon this is awesome, have you thought of letting people customize the prompt for folks replying to them? I think different folks have very different issues they seem in their replies
