    How could you not include the classic printer lp0 on fire!

    I actually got that one around 2010 on Ubuntu. The printer wasn’t actually on fire. If I recall it was caused by the network attached printer losing connection during a job

    • Login as a user.
    • Delete the user while still logged in
    • Run command

    You should get a message “you don’t exist, go away”

    Not sure if that one is still around but I know one person who ran a script with “deluser $USER” and it ate root resulting in fun messages like that
