Joel seems to have found the answer but the question itself is a bit troubling. Reminds me of Tom Riddle asking "I was in the library the other day, in the Restricted Section, and I read something rather odd about a bit of rare magic. It's called, as I understand it... a Horcrux." :smiling_imp:

I found it .. try this :)

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title></title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> const warningTitleCSS = 'color:red; font-size:60px; font-weight: bold; -webkit-text-stroke: 1px black;'; const warningDescCSS = 'font-size: 18px;'; console.log('%cStop!', warningTitleCSS); console.log("%cThis is a browser feature intended for developers. If someone told you to copy and paste something here to enable a Facebook feature or \"hack\" someone's account, it is a scam and will give them access to your Facebook account.", warningDescCSS); console.log('%cSee https://www.facebook.com/selfxss for more information.', warningDescCSS); </script> </body> </html>
