The usual computer trashcan icon (or "recycle bin" - how lame!) allows one to delete files, and "empty the trash." This is suitable for routine cleanup, but is not quite the soul-satisfying experience one longs for when deleting spam.
I want another pull-down option besides "empty." I want "detonate"
or "explode!"
Optional ignition by graphically lighting a long fuse, to build the anticipation.
KABOOM! Catharsis! Aahhhh!

[21 Quest], I don't think so. Got a [link]? |
|

I was actually somewhat surprised to search and not find anything except a bunch of videos of the real thing. |
|
| |
+ I'd really like this as a full sized screen, too. |
|
| |
Thought this was a fun idea. I put together a quick & cheesy version (link). |
|
| |
Download & unzip. Right-click on WindowsApplication1.exe and select Send To > Desktop (shortcut) |
|
| |
Rename the shortcut something fun like "detonate". |
|
| |
I included the source files at the 2nd link above so someone else can make it fancier with a full-screen graphic, etc. |
|
| |
I thought this would be silly and I'd never use it, but I was having a rough time with some annoying files the other day and decided to run my little program instead of just 'empty recycle bin'. The cheezy explosion definitely was cathartic :) |
|

The explosion is nice, but for some reason an all-consuming, searing flame erupting from the recycle bin, leaving the icons directly above it scorched, while I yell "burn, burn! Bwahahahahaaaa", would be more cathartic for me. [+] in any case. |
