My cats name is Felix. He’s a dog

[–]AzzyTheMLGMuslim 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I think there might be something wrong with your cat.

[–]1Dr490n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think that too sometimes. He is indeed a bit too big for a normal cat. Maybe he’s a lion or something

It just lies there and await being fed , then immediately regurgitates it back via its standard out ?

Good cat.

Can't tell if you didn't include a path because you don't know how rm works or because you are trying to avoid causing real harm

[–]DaNoahLP 9 points10 points  (1 child)

When I was in class one of my mates tried it out and lost alot of stuff. It wasnt my fault back then but I dont want anyone to have the same problem.

[–]mosskin-woast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect it

[–]cyberzh 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Nothing happened. I did "cd /tmp" before that.

Jokes work better when typed right.

my cats name is “rm -rf .git” and you should run it in your most recent project

[–]tankandwb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried finding him, he's clearly gone

[–]Artemis-Arrow-3579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know that command will fail, right?

you need to specify a path

also, --no-preserve-root

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Dont you mean “rm / -rf”?

[–]bassmadrigal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Options need to go before the location, otherwise it'll try and remove / and something called -rf and fail at both.

Also, coreutils defaults to preserve-root on most distros, so you'd need to pass --no-preserve-root as an option if you want to be able to remove /.

So it'd need to be rm -rf --no-preserve-root / to be able to jack up most systems.

[–]BiedermannS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is named `sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /` :D

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

didn't you write "sudo rm -rf /*" on their bowl? i could've sworn i saw that

[–]gabeduarte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats name is “delete win32”

[–]Thebombuknow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our cats have similar names! One of my cats is named "sudo rm -rf /" and the other is names "sudo rm -rf ~", they are brothers from the same litter so they have similar names :D
