This is making me think about making an "irl-basilisks" Github repo containing the Excessively Loud Sunset, Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" and a copy of the EICAR test file. Probably a bad idea because sometime in 2026 I'd wind up including "entirely innocuous image that incorrectly trips neural network CSAM scanners" and then I'd get banned from Github https://mastodon.social/@miah@hachyderm.io/109513848856267780

The more I think about this the funnier I am finding it because I'm realizing it would be entirely reasonable to include a text file containing only the word "Memphis"*

* During Mar. 14 2021, Twitter instabanned anyone who posted the word "Memphis" (thread: https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1371170131477401604)

@mcc this was extremely funny because of the soccer player Memphis Depay, who, if I remember right, caused a lot of people to get banned that day because he scored a bunch or something
