     @piggo @domi @iacore ⚠ Warning: I somehow bork my browser web process while doing this one, ended up in an infinite loop.

     btw for some reason unknown to myself being a JS-noob, you need to use function() {} and not () => {}.

     $ node > String.prototype.toString = function() { if(this == "meow") { return ":3"; } else { throw "tangled yarn"; } }; [Function (anonymous)] > "meow".toString() ':3'

     @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @piggo@piggo.space @domi@donotsta.re @iacore@mastodon.de that happened because within your .toString, this refers to a String object, and since == is a "loosely equal" operator, it implicitly calls .toString to coerce it to a primitive, resulting in an infinite loop
     
     and arrow function doesn't work because by definition arrow functions always use parent this, that's the main difference between them and function functions
     
     something like this works

     @teidesu @domi @iacore @piggo Oooh right, JS loves implicitly casting data in just about any situation, which is something I just can't get used to.
