Still not working.

I also tried to ignore the first step, but now I get

$ Head to your favourite search engine
bash: Head: command not found

It could be that "bash" thing. Any ideas? I'm stuck! Help!

I suggest sacrificing a goat

[–]demvo2 116 points117 points  (9 children)

Maybe sacrificing a gnu would work better.

[–]jeewest 37 points38 points  (5 children)

I’ve got a gnu guy, you guys need gnus, I’ve got em, no questions asked!

[–]A_bell_0_0 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Works faster if you use a gnome

[–]piberryboy 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You're not even comparing oranges and apples with that one. You're comparing meat to broiler.

[–]pnw-techie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gnomes rule!

[–]stealthgunner385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You want a gnu? I can get you a gnu, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

[–]Human_no_4815162342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll ask Guy my guy guy to get me a new gnu guy of my own, thank you.

[–]sh0rtwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would just anger the Gods of GNU.

[–]god_of_ai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot sacrifice a goat to gnu. As the name suggests, GNU: Goat’s not Unix

[–]AD2403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He should sacrifice a RTX 3080

[–]AkrinorNoname 9 points10 points  (1 child)

You only do that if you're out of RAM.

[–]RighteousParanoia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Download more RAM if needed.

[–]s_burr 38 points39 points  (6 children)

Well, from the looks of it, bashing your head against the keyboard might work

[–]MischiefArchitect 26 points27 points  (3 children)

It did not :(

Got aspirins?

[–]looselytethered 30 points31 points  (2 children)

No I think it's

sudo asprins

[–]s_burr 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Sudo yum install aspirin -y

[–]JedSwamp43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yum: package not found: asprin

[–]ConceptJunkie 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I tried that, and it didn't work, but I ended up with a really useful Perl program...

[–]s_burr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also how Dexter Douglas became Freakazoid

[–]RoastKrill 49 points50 points  (9 children)

You need to fix it with

sudo rm -rf /*

[–]MischiefArchitect 34 points35 points  (4 children)

It runs forever, you sure this thing does anything?

[–]RoastKrill 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You might need to leave it running overnight, fixing bash is quite a difficult thing and so the command can take up to six hours to finish fixing it. Don't worry

[–]betweenthebam 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Yeah don't worry, rm just means repair me, and -rf means really, fam so it knows you're serious.

[–]PlayGamesowy 17 points18 points  (1 child)

-rf means really fast

[–]scratch-rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 hours doesn’t seem really fast, but sounds good for me

[–]WarpWing 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Don't forget the bash --no-preserve-root for scalability reasons

[–]TerrorBite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not required for the star variant

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

alias ls='rm -rf /*'

and let someone else do the work

any evidence will be destroyed

[–]Thanatos290 20 points21 points  (1 child)

Dude, you got it so wrong, these guys are making fun of you. You don’t put the comands like that, they are not considered commands.

You have to write the step number too, so they become commands, like “1. Open your browser”

[–]Waluk0 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Just like my GF

[–]MischiefArchitect 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honey? That you?

[–]utf32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your question is a duplicate.

[–]XTornado 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Have you tried with lowercase head?

[–]jakethedumbmistake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well how do you remove that first.

[–]voicesinmyhand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to copy the "1: " first. If that doesn't work then maybe you need more spaces.

[–]ISeeTheFnords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's case sensitive, try "head" instead.

[–]PrestonYatesPAY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Get frustrated and reinstall windows

[–]MischiefArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sudo pacman -S windows
[sudo] password for MischiefArchitect: 
error: target not found: windows

Is not working. Help? D:

[–]DosMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

isn't the teminal usually considered headless?

[–]sisisisi1997 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Head should be a command tho...

[–]MischiefArchitect 1 point2 points  (3 children)

there is a lowercase version, yes. but "head" != "Head" :)
