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
