## What it is
A novelty joke script that randomly 'deletes' (or lists) half of your files, inspired by Thanos snapping his fingers. It includes a PowerShell variant that can remove files, registry entries, environment variables, functions, variables, aliases, and certificates with probability 1/2.

## Use cases
- prank script that deletes half my files randomly
- simulate thanos snap on my filesystem
- randomly remove half of files from a directory
- joke command line tool to scare coworkers
- test backup recovery by randomly deleting files
- powershell script that removes random objects

## When to choose
- you want a fun novelty prank script for a demo or joke
- you need a chaotic random file-deletion tool for testing backups in a sandbox

## When to avoid
- on any real production or personal system - it is genuinely destructive
- you need reliable or safe file management
- you want a serious data cleanup or deduplication tool

- function: cli, file-system, developer-tools
