From my experience, the most accurate result would be "me: invalid argument" "

I think it'd say something about no Makefile present.

I feel like neither of those would require sudo first.
Unless you removed read permissions to the directory you are working in.

When the monkeys-paw package is also installed.

A monkey's paw is a talisman that grants wishes but the wishes are usually granted in a way not expected by the requester, usually as a punishment for tampering with fate.

Here, the guy requests "make me a sandwich", the monkey's paw would grant the wish by literally interpreting the wish.

If you want to see more, there is a subreddit called /r/monkeyspaw. Not sure if there's a community on Lemmy.

This specific example works in english but in many languages with the dative case such a mix up cannot happen.

Interesting.
So this is probably the origin of the Evil Genie idea.

[-] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It actually originates from this short story

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monkey%27s_Paw

Apparently this story is also what inspired Pet Sematary.

Wait, you actually did what I said?! This is atrocious.

Especially when I have the monkey's paw.

[-] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 month ago

That's some super user dough

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

That actually took me a second to understand, but it's a good one

It is going to be hard getting used to run0 if it ever goes ahead.

[-] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

All distros that switch will probably just symlink it to sudo i guess

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would assume so but it seems like it could be problematic for some compatibility as you're not switching users and weird options being passed into something like sudo or run0 seem dangerous to me if they have different ways of parsing the input (which they might not).

Sandwich is built entirely out of sauce?
