Sudo is like the safety on a firearm. It's there to hopefully prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. It won't stop you if you're determined enough, though.
I don't know, I have to use SUDO so much that I would never think twice about it if what I was doing was unwittingly dangerous, you even have to su to the root user enough that I wouldn't think to hard about it.
Me when I put my gun in the holster with the safety off, then accidentally blow my own foot off
By this logic, would su root be like breaking off the safety???
Nah, just never turning it on again
I used to get output like this after that $ sudo command.
This user is not listed inside sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Obligatory xkcd
If root on every linux machine is Santa, that explains how he gets so much done.
It said 404 not found โข NGIX
Edit: oh yeah that pic showed up now
You're welcome, I've run sudo show picture
Oh is that the bastard administrator from hell?
The first time I got this I thought I screwed up big time. Then, half a second later I was like "wait..."
Minewhile, NixOS:
"Nice try buddy, now step the fuck away from my read-only file system before I put my flake in your ass"
And do not forget about impermanence everywhere.

Probably the funniest linux meme I've seen in a few years. Nice.
And if that permit isn't valid it'll get reported to... someone.
Installed Debian for the first time in over 15 years the other day for my new homelab, forgot to add my user to the sudoers file, went to use the command
Error: User is not in sudoers file
You're no longer ratted out by Debian it seems, a sad day
On my Debian system, I still get mail when I failed to use sudo in time on a machine, and that gets reported via mbox.
First time ever, I had to look up "How do I check my debian mail?".
sudo show-me-pictures-of-cats.sh
and then you rekt yourself and have to do a fresh install
Hint: :q!
