I still remember that video I watched where a line in the Steam code back in the day was titled SCARY!!!!! and it was rm -rf $STEAMROOT. This nuked a guy's computer because short answer $STEAMROOT was actually / root, long answer here's the video. This nuked both his PC and his external drive that is some pretty bad code but this JavaScript code is up there

That's the issue I linked. The problem was that at some point a script executed rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/*", but did not make sure that $STEAMROOT was set. If for some reason it was empty, the path became /* after substitution.

So would it be funny if I made a meme like this except it was with the trojan horse meme template? I kinda want to
