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.

r/metalmemes

A subreddit that hates on listenable metal while they listen to a band thats named “Deathcum sacrifice of satans bussy while a cult does a vocal ritual which involves putting magma on their throat so it sounds more metal” and their songs are named like satanic chant in a prehistoric language while their songs sound like the screechers (vocalist) head is getting bashed with a metal drumstick and has a logo that looks like a splattered, sentient, dying turd on a wall

r/metalmemes poser: hey bro, what bands do u listen to??
Chad metal enjoyer: Huh, maybe Sabaton or Slipknot
r/metalmemes poser: EWWWWW WHY DONT YOU LISTEN TO SACRIFICIAL BLOOD OF THE ULTIMATE CREATURE
Chad based metal fan: No

R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience)

A retroactively amended purchase experience is when a company changes the terms of the sale, after the sale. Companies can do this nowadays because most of us use cloud software, otherwise known as SaaS, Software as a Service. Since we have to connect to someone else's computer to USE our software, they have the ability to deny us access to this software without accepting new terms, that they can change on us at any given time. Since consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they face no consequences for doing so.

An example of this can be found with Adobe when they changed the terms of the sale to include terms allowing them to look through your content.

Or when Adobe took software you paid for, and disallowed you from activating it. perpetual licenses are not perpetual licenses as long as you must connect to someone else's computer to use what you paid for.

I really liked my $400 baby monitor, but now I have to pay extra for features it came with because the company did a R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience). I feel RAPEd!

R-stan

(noun)
/ɑ r stæn/

Definition:
A Respectful Stan — a fan who supports an artist, creator, or public figure with genuine admiration while respecting their boundaries, privacy, and humanity.

Unlike obsessive or intrusive fandom behavior, an R-Stan believes that true support includes empathy, consent, and kindness. Being an R-Stan means celebrating someone’s work, not controlling their life.

Origin:
Coined by a fan who wanted to redefine what it means to support someone, after noticing how often the term fan is used for people who act disrespectfully toward artists.
The “R” stands for Respectful.

“She’s not the type to invade artists’ space — she’s an R-Stan.”
