Suicide Linux
You know how sometimes if you mistype a filename in Bash, it corrects your spelling and runs the command anyway? Such as when changing directory, or opening a file.

I have invented Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into "rm -rf /" and wipes your hard drive.

It's a game. Like walking a tightrope. You have to see how long you can continue to use the operating system before losing all your data.

:lol:

In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

****! Mr. President... I sorta just accidentally maybe killed your kitten... and deleted the Library of Congress.


More realistically... they're not quite correct. There ARE commands that Suicide Linux corrects by itself. For example, "rm-rf /" will fix itself.

  • A one hit wonder, you still want to touch this.
I guess suicide linux runs as root all the time to actually get somewhere with rm -rf. Otherwise you'd just delete a lot of your own files or suicide linux will keep prompting you to run as root.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.
