    You alias rm to do nothing. There is no danger of aliasing rm to echo. The only thing that’ll happen is nothing.

    Or are you seriously suggesting that if you do this, you somehow get used to rm doing nothing? Like you’ll just start rm’ing randomly because you know it’ll echo? I mean, stupider things have happened, but… yeah

      I admit that of the things rm could be aliased to do, it is one of the safer ones. It’s still bad practice in my book.
