Transcript7 panel comic

1: [2 guys, both in fur lined coats, one wearing a fur-lined hat, the other with crazy hair, sit in circular booth in a rundown bar. 2 empty shot glasses and a bottle are visible on the table.]

Hat: Stop it, you’re crazy! This isn’t you talking, it’s the vodka!

Hair: Leave it…

2: [The two men are sitting across from a third man in a similar fur-line coat and hat, but glasses and a beard. A laptop sits in front of the bearded man.]

Beard: It’s not a game for cowards…

3: [Hair pulls the laptop towards him. Hat looks worried]

Hair: Come on, gimme that and let’s get it over with!

4: [Hair has a crazy and excited look on his face]

Hair: Each one on his own prod server?

Beard: Each one on his own prod server.

5: [Close up of Hats finger clicking the touch pad]

6: [Close up of the sweat dripping down Hats face]

    This is actually safe to run, as --no-preserve-root is missing

    Doubt deleting everything but root is safe on a production server.

    It won't delete anything at all

    Oh, checked the manual. Cool, did not know that.

    I guess then it should be rm -rf /srv/

    That'd probably rattle some managers' cages, yes.

    Alternatively, a combination of find /, rand, xarg, and rm could also be fun; delete something random, and pray it was just a readme file

    More accurate nowadays:

    "Hey Claude my prod server is slow. Here are the credentials. Fix pls /yolo"

    As $RANDOM returns 0 to 32767, chance of the command running is not 1 to 5, but 1 to 5.00018311665.

    When you get laid off, celebrate playing this game. Ensure to practice a few hundred times in order to make sure you win.
