# A collection of self-killing scripts in various languages

This is inspired by this [reddit

post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/6c2ely/useless_machine/) 

describing a useless machine implementation in python.

## What is a useless machine? 

A [useless machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useless_machine) is one that

solely turns itself off, after turning on.
