You know, a few monts ago I was installing windows on my sister's machine. I downloaded the iso and thought it would work on my sister's laptop so I thought I was done with mine so I turned it off. And then the usb didn't work so I tried to burn the iso again but I plugged the usb before booting my pc. So kernel just reversed the order of drives. And then I ran the same command. Boom wrong drive got overwritten and 2 TB of files vanished. So much was learnt that night.
