Shit meme, I know.

Groot from the hit Marvel movie "Avengers: Something" says "I am root." (The 'G' has been scribbled out in a very low effort as this is a low effort meme.)

If I ever need to switch to the root user, I usually type su, but I saw someone use sudo su - in a video, which I thought was pretty strange but maybe the video creator knew something I didn't, or it wasn't possible to simply su a few years ago.

    sudo su -

    Fun fact. There HAS been a sploit based on the brief moment you've elevated to root before backing down to another account. This should be avoided, and those using it need ridicule for social correction. It's like people who say 'emails' or 'the ask': just remind them how dumb they are and maybe they'll stop.
