    Can someone explain the joke?

    sudo cream... as in you put the cream on your toddlers when they misbehave, so you get sudo privilges with them (super user do, it's the same as executing commands as root, i.e. you can do anything and everything, it's the highest level of permission). For example, sudo behave. It's often used if regular behave just doesn't cut it πŸ˜‚.

    The cream you put on toddlers?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Yep, I put it on my toddler's ass when they misbehave.

    What cream?

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

    It's for diaper rash and such

    OK, that may not have been the best choice of words 🀣🀣🀣. Oitment maybe?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    No I just mean that I have no idea what you're talking about. We don't put any cream on children when they misbehave here, so I don't understand this product. Could you describe it?

    [–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

    Lol 🀣. It's just baby cream, nothing special about it. The name is what's interesting. Part of it is sudo, as in the command (super user do), which basically gives you root pivileges. You can do anything as root, even destroy the OS (fairly easily I might add). The joke is, if regular commands don't work on your child, you put a little sudocream on them and they will execute every command you throw at them.

    I hope this makes things clearer ☺️.
