I've never actually tried this but feel like rm should have a built in warning specifically for that command letting them know they've been trolled and have a y/N prompt.

There kind of is one, but it is overridden by -f

You also need the flag "--no-preserve-root".

No you don't.

rm -fr / requires the flag, but rm -fr /* does not.
