 ## Potential dangers
 
-- The fork bomb and max-limit stress tests can freeze your machine or make it
-  unresponsive by exhausting processes/threads.
+- The fork bomb can freeze your machine or make it unresponsive by exhausting
+  processes/threads.
 - You may need elevated limits (ulimit or sysctl) to run high-stress tests.
 - Running heavy tests on shared systems or laptops can disrupt other users and
   risk data loss if the system becomes unstable.
