I Technically Never Wished For More Wishes

This programmer just executed the most beautiful integer overflow exploit in history! First wishing for wishes to be counted as an unsigned 32-bit integer (max value: 4,294,967,295 wishes), then ensuring the subtraction happens after the wish completes (avoiding the "no more wishes" rule), and finally wishing for 0 wishes which causes an underflow to 4,294,967,295! The genie's face says it all - he just got absolutely destroyed by a classic buffer overflow vulnerability. This is what happens when you don't sanitize your inputs, magical beings!

Sudo: The Universal Sysadmin Perspiration

The punchline here is a double-whammy of Unix pain. First, the fake etymology of "sudo" (actually stands for "superuser do") being Italian for "I sweat" perfectly captures that moment of terror when you need admin privileges. Then the "rm -rf" command—the nuclear option that recursively deletes everything without confirmation—suggests we'll be sweating again soon when we inevitably destroy something important. It's that special kind of dread every sysadmin feels when typing dangerous commands with godlike powers, knowing one typo separates a normal Tuesday from an all-night restoration from backups (you do have backups, right?).
