Google Linux Troll

[AricRastley]

In case you’re wondering, the command deletes every single file on the system. Including the operating system

[TheHappyKamper]

Because the video doesn't really explain it, this command force deletes all files and folders on your system.

[ThomasGamble-bnbb]

Sudo = admin privileges
rm = delete
-fr = force recursive (don’t hold back)
/* = every file on your damn computer

[Hypergamer]

Yay, imma test it on my PC I have lots of valuable unbacked up data on

[falafell]

The only problem with this "joke" is that, because it's linux, It's not going to stop you!

[HunterLaFever-nqqi]

I thought for some reason Linux needed the French langue to run. I didn’t realize the command was just something else.

[elzacharito]

Me actually being French: I don’t have that weakness

[ursidae]

What do you mean YOU'VE fallen for it???

[LS-]

to be fair the command wold indeed remove the "French language pack", ...



it just so happens that everything else gets deleted also.

[pompelmostique]

To be fair... ANYTHING can trick Google's AI into thinking anything is true. It sucks.

pros and cons of linux:
pros:
absolute control
cons:
*ABSOLUTE* control

If they didn't use the 'for real' tag, linux would have asked if they're sure they wanted everything removed forcefully recursively. Clever.

[diamondsimon]

Well that's good to know, imagine losing literally everything important to you because someone thought it would be a funny joke

[VagueHandWaving]

I really hate this kind of hazing. Rickrolling doesn't harm anyone beyond wasting their time, but this kind of stuff is what makes me think the "Dark Forest" solution to the fermi paradox is real.
Imagine an alien troller sending out the physics needed to make "strange matter" and destroying entire planets.

[Klockorino]

I mean, to be fair, that command does remove a LOT of bloat… including the French language if it was installed…

[meltingatom]

A strong barrier to Linux, is the community that uses it

[Jordan_C_Wilde]

"just use linux bro" *casually makes you delete your entire fckn pc*

[anninfifi]

LMFAOOO NOOOO😭😭😭that was the first thing i was taught about linux. My teacher showed all of the types of commands that could end up nuking the entire system, files or both. That's brutal

[Beryesa.]

Hey, you're free to do whatever you want with the system!
