Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence...

@CppGuy @davidrevoy @nekoplanet, I read the first and third words in it as having three syllables then I saw the “rm -rf /” comment and thought “oh, two syllables?” – it's definitely not immediately obvious because of that.

Pratchett's writing of the Disorganiser telling the time, e.g. “9 eh em”: to me, “eh” sounds like “e” in “tell” and very unlike the name of “a”, which I'd describe as “ay” (as in “take”). If he'd written “9 ay em” (but not “9 ayem”), I'd have understood it immediately.

@libreinator @davidrevoy Only for GNU rm, unless other implementations have added it. I guess this detail means GNU rm is not compatible with the spec.

[bicycletting@mastodon.ie]

@davidrevoy yup, things can **always** get worse

[njsg@mementomori.social]

@davidrevoy @nekoplanet Oh it was noticed. It made my day! Thanks!

@davidrevoy I'm sure there's stiff competition, but that's gotta be in the running for the nerdiest spell ever cast.

@pentup @davidrevoy

Definitely pretty nerdy, but if you want an ultra-nerdy spell *sequence*, log your keystrokes and do something non-trivial in vim. Heck, just *getting out* of The Vim Zone is pretty good (“escape colon double-you queue enter!”).

@davidrevoy but in reality it was even worse, just a place if rubble and SHE had to clean up her self after all

@davidrevoy I mean, that looks like a deluxe camping site. Even an actual and clean toilet!

[voxel@infosec.space]

@davidrevoy I wonder what the magical words might refer to

[uriel@x.keinpfusch.net]

@davidrevoy this is not Avian Intelligence, this is Agentic Avian.

@davidrevoy @dside @nekoplanet absolute genius! (and I also missed it the first time I read the comic)

[slothrop@chaos.social]

@_elena @davidrevoy @dside @nekoplanet Same. Well done!

[nekoplanet@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy it got me for a moment as I reverse the options (I remember better that way as "one should be careful when removing France" )

@davidrevoy @CppGuy @nekoplanet also another variant would be Aahrem Dash Aahref SLASH

@davidrevoy I once saw someone driving around North Carolina with the short form of that incantation as their license plate ...

@davidrevoy That is a very stochastic parrot.
