Like when you send a .7z instead of a .zip or .rar to a friend or a teacher because that's what your computer has installed and they're like "Oh No, not one of those, now I have to install 7Zip" even though the same program that opens .rar also opens .7z I feel like people are way more annoyed when they receive a .7z

    Suppose I have a javascript file for a node server's backend access named db.js

    Suppose I write tests for those functions and name the test script file db.test.js

    Suppose I tar and gzip that file (bear with me), now named db.test.js.tar.gz

    Suppose I sign that file with PGP, now named db.test.js.tar.gz.pgp

    Now suppose I want to hide that signed compressed tarball of a javascript tests file for my db functions, and to do so, I name it .db.test.js.tar.gz.pgp

    Now I have a file that looks like it consists of nothing but extensions. I'm sure you could push it even further though, if you tried.
