    People who put .RARs or .ZIPs inside of .RAR or .ZIP files

    Seriously, what is the point of putting a rar inside of a rar, or a zip inside of a zip.

    Formatception if you ask me.

    compresses it way more better, duh
    The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.

    I've seen this is used for viruses a few times. Anti viruses scan the first .rar or .zip but not the second, where the virus is.

    Probably the same reason that half of the people who release game torrents start out with a compressed ISO, split it up into 100 different rar parts and then puts those into a .7z
