Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...

Here's another mindfuck: gnu readline is so popular that developers of other software tend to implement its keybinds as hidden features/eastereggs. That's why ctrl+u works in GTK text input boxes as well!

Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.
