The act of someone sitting at a brand new Mac, with a never-before-used interface, and immediately clicking the computer icon to drag it to the trash, is such a powerful image for me.
The statement of, “this is what I think of this computer” is so strong, because I have to believe that whomever did that must have been a tech person to be at the event; but perhaps they just thought it was a shortcut and didn’t like shortcuts on their desktop so they tried to remove it? Like, you can do this with Windows… Because the computer object (in Explorer) is immutable, and any reference to it is simply a link to that object.
I prefer the thought of them just being like “this computer is trash” and doing that, and causing the system to crash.
I think it’s more like they thought they were supposed to do that. I’m guessing they had no idea what to do, and putting an object in trash or recycle is something everyone understands, so that’s what their brain told them to do.
Moments like that are why I belive in timetravel, in the real timeline it took two years to find that bug and it was resolved quietly but of course someone is going to come back and troll them by doing it on day 1.

“okay… What happens if I do this?”

why would it take 2 years to find a bug? release something new to the public and it will always take seconds

“I put the computer in the trash” is pretty easy to replicate.
That one is a ‘whoever’ btw.
Okay, but can you explain why?
Whoever is the subject of the verb “did”. Whoever did something.
Whomever is an object, so whoever did something to whomever.
In other words, “whoever” does things; “whomever” has things done to them.
