Linux should have new command "crying_newbie" that can undo that command.

That won't work on any modern Linux environment. Still a joke I find funny, but definitely not dangerous in itself.

@AnirudhKonduru That command is set to delete the entire system. As @bouge said, without the --no-preserve-root flag it shouldn't actually run.

Rm -rf is bad but to do serious damage you need to use sudo. On the other hand, remember the kid on twitch that deleted his system32? Needless to say we didnt get to see the aftermath 🙈
