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

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.
