Flappy Bird

❌ "McNutt on the world."

- Armus

Flappy Bird is an innocuous Scratch game created by kingliam3 on January 31, 2014, based on the mobile game with the same name. On November 18, 2021, however, a user on 4chan (Armus) hacked his account and the game to show Ronnie McNutt's suicide video when the player dies.

Gameplay
The game plays just like the original iOS and Android versions of Flappy Bird. However, there are now two game modes; normal and impossible. Impossible mode changes the color palette and makes the game faster. Losing the game, however, shows a looping GIF of Ronnie McNutt killing himself, and plays the song "Ruler of Everything" by Tally Hall, beginning with the lyrics: "So he shot at the sun with a gun."

4chan's Hack
On November 18, an anonymous user on 4chan's /b/ announced that they hacked into a large Scratch account that hosted a popular version of Flappy Bird. This user specifically attempted to try and get this onto the news by emailing this to multiple news stations with the claim that this game always had shocking content in it. OP called this Operation McNutt.

Armus also added "Armus#1111 if you have any technical issues" to the bottom of the page, possibly to get people's reactions.

Later that night, however, Scratch removed the game due to the gore.
