rm -rf ~ would be destructive if the script is running on someone's personal machine

This also assumes people don't know about Python's literal_eval (or equivalents in other languages), which is a pretty sad fact.

@Longpoke It simply won't work. On most modern Unixes there is protection built into rm against running with -rf /.

And besides, I never let Linux scripts run as root, which is why this wouldn't work either. | |
