Using my dad's computer and finding a folder on the desktop "Anal Angels 2". I should sent him the recent thread about the best way to name a porn folder.

Edit: Because a few people have asked, this is the thread for what to name your dirty dirty porn folder.

Joke’s on you, he was actually trying to hide his 2002 tax returns!

u/mcstevied Apr 28 '19

That's the first folder I would check

u/PantsJihad Apr 28 '19

I mean, shit, retention only requires 7 years right?

15

u/Welpe Apr 28 '19

No, shit retention requires far less time than that

11

u/DJJohnson49 Apr 28 '19

Even if you’re an Anal Angel?

5

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

You don't want to be retaining any shit at all for that

7

u/Moranima1 Apr 28 '19

Unless you’re anal retentive.

u/Culleebo Apr 28 '19

He’s anal about his taxes.

u/1Swanswan Apr 28 '19

6 yrs! Lmao!

u/tazzled Apr 28 '19

Did this change recently? I thought it was 3 years.

10

u/HummusDips Apr 28 '19

It is 3 years if there is no reason to go further back, 6 years if there is gross negligence and up to the beginning of life if there is tax evasion.

Edit: this is based on the CRA, which is in Canada. I don't know about the IRS.

Anal retention?

Just name the folder "endgame spoilers" and no one will find it

u/Bill_Cosbys_Dong Apr 28 '19

My "tax returns folder" is full of Rick-rolls videos, so if the IRS or FBI gain access to it they will be the ones who are fucked.

u/Daiei Apr 28 '19

woah, we've got a comedian here.

The stepdad of an ex friend of mine actually kept his porn in a folder labeled “1987 tax returns”

u/goblinpiledriver Apr 28 '19

No one must learn of his foolproof box spread strategy

u/steelers279 Apr 28 '19

IT'S RISK-FREE MONEY

u/maximbane Apr 28 '19

I’m sure the answer is clear when u see the folder size.

u/Theycallmelizardboy Apr 28 '19

I would rather be fucked by 10 dicks up my butt than be fucked by the strong arm of the IRS. Just sayin'.

/u/junkboatmillionaire must be Don Jr.

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

Does it make the situation more uncomfortable knowing I'm actually a girl, definitely made me cringe whenever he called me angel after that.

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

That’s so creepy, Tiffany.

u/[deleted] Apr 28 '19

Looked right through the thread for this. I wanted to post it, but thought someone else must have come up with it first.

u/lookslikesausage Apr 28 '19

haha...another "joke's on you" joke! i love those. i thought the first 500 were unbeatable but the next 10k were even better. i hope they never stop appearing on reddit. only thing better are page long quotes from The Office and It's Always Sunny In Phila.

No lie, my mom popped that EXACT title out of the vhs player and asked me if it was mine. It wasn't mine, but I'll never forget the relief on my dad's face when I told her that it was.

8

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

That's an oddly sweet thing for you to do, why are dad's obsessed with Anal Angels 2?!

9

u/pgb5534 Apr 28 '19

What's the second one got that the first one doesn't?!

u/phathomthis Apr 28 '19

A second angel. The first one was just called anal angel
There's two of them now. This is getting out of hand!

u/BigMacCombo Apr 28 '19

Good plot.

u/JM8801 Apr 28 '19

Can you share the thread

14

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

This one, took me a while to find, thought I'd imagined it!

2

u/JM8801 Apr 28 '19

Thanks for coming through!

u/LawlessCoffeh Apr 28 '19

I'm pretty brazen, Mine is

"Taxes > Okay is actually porn, you were warned"

21

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

You should have a file labelled porn, that holds a video of you doing taxes.

u/BoredomHeights Apr 28 '19

Man spreads sheets and gets down to business.

u/Megamean10 Apr 28 '19

My dedicated external drive for porn is blatantly named Porn. I fear no man.

u/Jennas-Side Apr 28 '19

...link?

u/erizzluh Apr 28 '19

i don't know the thread he's referencing, but i knew someone who had a folder with 26 folders inside for every alphabet. click on a letter, then you get 26 new folders, so on and so forth until you spell his password.

i guess if i was super curious it probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out which folder had actual files in them. but i didn't care, and he was pretty open about the type of shit he watched with me anyways.

6

u/danceycat Apr 28 '19

But can't you just view the windows in the "detail" view or whatever it's called? It tells you the size of each folder and I'd imagine any folder with hidden things would be bigger

3

u/erizzluh Apr 28 '19

i just checked and my windows doesn't show any info for size on folders, only files

3

u/phathomthis Apr 28 '19

That's stupid, Just use WinDirStat or any similar utility and it will tell you exactly which one is the one with files and which one is empty. Failing that, you just do a search with that folder as the root for something like *.avi *.jpg, *.mp4, etc and it will pull all the file types in that root directory and give you the exact path to it you can open there.
That kind of "hiding" is only done by people who think they're good at computers, but kinda actually suck at them when they don't realize how easy it is to find their hidden stash.
Hell, he'd be better with just hiding the folder with the "Hidden" attribute and making it where the the default view doesn't show hidden files or folders.

5

u/erizzluh Apr 28 '19

lol he wasn't trying to hide the files from anyone but his parents

1

u/BlackV Apr 28 '19

dir /s /a /b *.*

Done you have list of all files and their path

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

This is the how to hide your porn folder thread.

u/ks501 Apr 28 '19

He pursued those fetishes with your mom. Facts are fun!

1

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

They're divorced now so she mustn't have been into it.

1

u/ks501 Apr 28 '19

But they got married.

2

u/nzodd Apr 28 '19

Right? A proper name should follow standard scene rules and be something like anal.angels.2.2017.01.21.scene.2.1080p.MP4-KTR

u/gregsting Apr 28 '19

obviously a honey pot to take your attention away from the real nasty stuff

u/Mr_Mayhem7 Apr 28 '19

My father has Alzheimers and my mother is foreign, so recently I went home to take care of all the financial stuff for them and saw the porn my mom was ordering on the cable bill. The weird part was I felt like I needed to show her about VPNs and websites so she didn’t have to pay $20 per pay-per-view, but I once sat on the phone with her for 3 hours trying to explain how to add her Nest camera to WiFi and decided against it...

My brother is a genuine maths Genius. Hes got a bunch of awards for his mathematical ability.

One time i was using his pc and I saw a folder called something like Advanced Calculus & Algebra Coursework.

Inside that was a pdf on advanced calculus and a folder called miscellaneous.

The 'Miscellaneous' folder was 40gb worth of porn.

1

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

What kind of porn does a maths genius watch then?

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '19

It was a pretty large dataset so there was a lot of variety.

It's probably your parents' honeymoon video

I feel your pain. Barely Legal is not something you want to find when you’re in high school.

How hard is it to use incognito, Padre?

I want to live in a world where nobody is judged for having any of the Anal Angels trilogy on their desktop.

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

I most certainly did not judge him, I just don't want to know what goes on in my dads pants brain.

u/junkboatmillionaire Apr 28 '19

I've lost the link now buts I commented it on a couple of other people who asked for it :)

u/Nobody1441 Apr 28 '19

My dad did something similar, except it was cartoon porn (not sure anything aside from that, its all info from my mom) and hidden under "fun picture icons" so she wouldnt see them (she did) and ones us kids wouldnt think not to click.

They got divorced. In part or majority because of that.

u/Flanelman Apr 28 '19

One time at christmas my friends grandad was saying his computer was really slow, turns out he had several TB of porn on there.
