People do it as a stress test of their system. A goodly OS should be able to stop it before it crashes the system, otherwise it won’t cause much damage (depends on what else you’re doing when it crashes)

It is a process that copies and splits itself until all the computer’s processing power is used up, causing it to crash.

Usually, you can restart without problems afterwards .

Make sure you always have multiple external backups, check them for errors as well.
