Jilano273045y"Gary is a dinosaur... Buy his Dino dildo right now at https://gary-dino-dildo.xxx"
Could have been worse indeed :D -
Bogus names are much better for testing instead of real names/data. With real data you could leak someone's personal information. Or cause massive panic, like the case in Hawaii.

retrix8115y@netikras oh, well I live under a large rock, so please do share the Hawaii incident 😁 I wouldn't ever use real names, but maybe not "Gary is a Dinosaur!" 😂 Maybe "This is a test only"?

Long story short, everyone thought they were going to die.
On a side note and like someone already mentioned somewhere, I can't wait to see how many newborns are the result of this mistake. -
Once I accidentally sent out a document for client review where I had a marker that there was still some work to do, a big fat "BANANA" in yellow. Client was confused. ^^

I just sent an automated email titled "Gary is a Dinosaur!" to a lot of humourless clients because the ancient application I was testing assumed I was in the production environment. 🙃
Lesson to self: stop using bogus names in testing.
Still, it could've been a lot worse... 😂
