sudo rm -r / --no-preserve-root

The command in GNU/Linux (or maybe other Unix-based operating systems) that deletes the root directory (/). Some trolls from the internet tell new users to run this command, saying that it will do insert something good here to your system.

If you have ever stumbled upon a person on the internet telling you to enter the command "sudo rm -r / --no-preserve-root", don't do it. Only do it if you know what you're doing, it will delete the system and all of your data.

SysWOW64

The actual directory in Microsoft Windows that contains unnecessary things such as bloatware, spyware, malware, trojan, ransomware, harmful Alternate Data Streams (ADS) in NTFS formatted hard disks, adware, broken registry entries, files from removed software, broken and incompatible drivers, text files containing shady links, random things that takes up a lot of storage while not being useful at all, and many more useless things. This is the actual folder that should be deleted permanently, not System32. To delete the folder, just change the ownership and permissions so that every users in the system have full control of the folder, its subfolders, and files (requires administrator access!). Then run Command Prompt (cmd) as an administrator (requires administrator access too!). After that, enter the command: del /s /q C:\Windows\SysWOW64

A computer can't function without an operating system

A total lie usually mentioned in computer textbooks when talking about operating systems. Older computers sometimes do not have an operating system, so this is totally a lie because these computers can still function. Also, even modern computers can make use of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to do some basic tasks such as viewing and changing the date.

School textbooks: "A computer can't function without an operating system!"
1930s computer operator: "wtf is that"
