    1. Trolling scammers while putting a smile on your daughter’s face – This is what computer science degrees are for.

    2. I love, love, looooove the fact, that he just normally explained it and wasn‘t „dumbing it down“ for her.

      oh god this is a bad idea, spam callers spoof their phone numbers. there’s a good chance you’re calling some poor guy in Nebraska 100s of times. ask me how I know

    4. I once did this manually by singing the bananaphone song. Took about a week before they never called again.

    5. Ah, I wish this would work here where I live, but all the call spammers here use spoofed numbers or numbers that are machine call only (they can only send calls using a bot and cannot receive calls of any sort).

      Do the kitboga approach and make a script to drag out conversations with spammers who call you.

      Love it!

      Also I bet its funny for the people who work there, and drives the managers mad

      By zero loop integer he means it’s running in an infinite loop. But him saying that makes me suspect this was vibe coded.

    9. I love fucking with phone scammers. I figure when they’re spending time with my bullshit stories they aren’t getting someone’s Gramma.

      I go full breakdown, crying, begging, pleading with them. It’s a great improv practice. Lol

      Sometimes I just use Google translate and start talking in various languages. That’s a fun one, a few times I’ve heard them asking if anyone can figure out what language in speaking and if anyone speaks that language.

      I call them back too, most know have rerouting system and you can’t call them back anymore.

      Man did I have fun during the pandemic with these assholes.

    10. Yes daddy! a zero loop integer. Can i have ice cream now?

      no joke this shit’s awesome. kudos
