The most deceptive joke I’ve seen on this is sudo rm -fr / to remove the French language pack

Agree. Don’t just copy and paste CLI commands you find on the internet, suggested by a stranger

For reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)

The rm -rf / variant of the command, if run by a superuser, would cause every file accessible from the present file system to be deleted from the machine.

Not a specific command, but I learned recently you can just dump any executable script into ~/bin and run it from the terminal.

I suffer greatly from analysis paralysis, I have a very hard time making decisions especially if there’s many options. So I wrote a script that reads a text file full of tasks and just picks one. It took me like ten minutes to write and now I spend far more time doing stuff instead of doing nothing and feeling badly that I can’t decide what to do.

This is because $HOME/bin is in your $PATH environment variable. You can add more paths that you’d like to execute scripts from, like a personal git repo that contains your scripts.

I think the standard is ~/.local/bin, for the people that like standards.
