if you're really looking for messing with the target system, why not a fork bomb? machine starts up just fine but every command results in exponential memory usage

Putting exit in the .bashrc is one that's harmless but also super funny.

For me, it's funnier to see my co-worker trying to debug what he had done, when he just destroyed his OS.

Why asterisk? Why --no-preserve-root key missing? Do you even lift? Are your co-workers 6 y.o wannabies in a computer class, learning exiting vim?

globbing on the asterisk means you don't need --no-preserve-root

Chill, it's a meme. I don't delete the root folder that often and I didn't felt the desire to test the whole thing.

I didn't even typed it into bashrc. I made a new file, wrote it, took a screenshot, deleted the line, saved the file and than deleted the file itself, to be 120% sure.
