sudo open mouth, insert foot

So whilst screwing around in Terminal, trying to learn some Unix code, I accidentally screwed something up with the sudo command. sudo is a Unix command which means 'Super Do,' it will basically override all safety confirmations and just do whatever you tell it to do. And what did I do with sudo? accidentally gave any user on my Mac root access. Oops. I was able to fix it, but Jesus . . . at least I didn't type 'sudo rm -R'

Oh, and while researching a solution for this problem, I found the Windows equivalent of 'sudo rm -R.' In Command Prompt, type 'RD C:\ /S /Q'
