So I was thinking of silly things I've done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :
exit
in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.
I'm curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.

My worst one was accidentally overwriting my backup when trying to clone it.
I was using a standalone drive cloning device and I mixed up the "source" and "target" slots. It was a 4tb drive so the operation took about 3 hours.
At the end, i plugged in the clone to check it and saw that it was blank. I ended up having to make a new backup before i was able to try the cloning again.
Since it was a backup, nothing of value was lost, but it sure was a waste of an afternoon
