Back in the days when I would actually sit in a chatroom, I used to
recommend people who were asking about issues with their computer if
they'd had a mechanic install grease fittings on their hard drive yet.

Other people watching would get all alarmed and warn the newbie that I
was BSing them. Spoilsports.

That's what chat rooms are for, isn't it?
