What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

quantumfoam,

In my case it was:

Me: I want to change my car tire, and i naturally assume we are parked safely in the garage. This is a routine maintenance thing after all.

Car: Sure thing! bork

Me: Umm, why are wrapped around a tree?

Car: Well, we were currently going 60mph, and we posted about it on this website.

Me: Why is there no warning that tells me that doing maintenance now will crash my car?

Car: Well like i said, there is, and it is on this website you should have gone to.

I once did an apt-get upgrade in the middle of when debian testing was recompiling all packages and moving to a new gcc version. I get it, using testing invites stuff like this. But come on, there should at least be a way to warn people beforehand.

quantumfoam,

Rest in peace Bill Hicks.
