       @alerikaisattera there are a bunch of newbies here that may not catch it. It would be better if you added some kind of warning

       @alerikaisattera @werwolf like deleting whole home directory is not enough damage.

       @efftoyz @alerikaisattera yeah and some people may run it with sudo after it says that you can't run it without root privileges. So it's dangerous

       @werwolf it won't actually say anything about root. Just "Permission denied"

       @efftoyz not a problem, for /home is actually owned by root, not user

       @alerikaisattera with -r it's going through all directories and at some point will kill everything in users home directory - is what I actually meant.

       @alerikaisattera so you are joking with such powerful trap for newbies and don't even understand what you actually do?

       @efftoyz @alerikaisattera yeah it'll remove the home directory. You can test it in a VM

       @werwolf that's not how rm works. rm - fr /home will crap out, for removing /home/username is equivalent to writing to /home, which is owned by root
