if you are the root user, everything you type is definitive even if it is to make you computer explode.
If you are a regular user, commands that would affect the system will issue some kind of "access denied".
The only damage you can do is on the files you have in your home directory
"rm -rf /" as root erase your whole drive
"rm -rf /" as a regular user tell you that you cannot do this!

"our identity, and in particular our sense of our own goodness, is dependent on being over against someone or something else. We often establish our goodness against someone else’s wickedness and if we are doing that, then it is a case of scapegoating. Why? Because we need the other to be wicked to know we are good and whether or not they are actually wicked is beside the point. We are using others to solidify our identity the same way a community uses a scapegoat to solve its internal conflict"

Do you ever think back to ridiculous things you did as a kid and think "god, I was such a stupid child" and then remember that yesterday you spent multiple hours passionately defending a non-canon relationship for a TV show that ended 4 years ago
