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.

Root account

The account in Unix and Unix-like operating systems that has access to most of the system (or not all). With this account, you can do many things that normal users without sudo "super user do" access cannot do, such as editing configuration files, software management, user management, and more. It is usually created by the system after the OS installation is finished, however the password may be set during the installation or after the installation.
If you know the password for the root account, do not play with the system unless you know what you're doing.
