Send pictures of goats to goats@

Change their desktop picture to My Little Pony. (Some folks just left it.)

On macOS, put this into cron `5 */2 * * * sleep $$((RANDOM % 7200 )) ; creepily_say_random_words.sh` :

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    words=$(awk 'BEGIN {srand()} !/^$/ { if (rand() <= .000015) print $0}' /usr/share/dict/words)
    echo "${words}"
    for voice in junior ralph whisper; do
        say -r 70 -v "${voice}" "${words}" &
    done
I was talking about this kind of thing with a US Santa Cruz researcher and she said they changed the default runlevel to 6.

I used to tell people that there was an easter egg if you reached the highest score, so they'd just sit there counting

We've been doing this with pictures of Mariusz Pudzianowski (a Polish weightlifter), most people learned to set up their screen lockers pretty quickly. Definitely more effective than spamming people with reminders about security policy. Fun times.
