fuck() {
    sudo $(fc -ln -1)
} 

This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention--came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.

kmirl@tux:~$ ls /root
ls: cannot open directory '/root': Permission denied
kmirl@tux:~$ fuck
[sudo] password for kmirl:

Isn't this the same effect as just running 'sudo !!' ?

no because it takes the previous command and adds sudo to it right?

!! is a shortcut for whatever the last command was ~~is it not?~~
