sudo rm -rf / is not that problematic because normally you will be ask for entering the sudo password.

But putting in a rm -rf ~/* would be like a horror movie.

rm -rf

Recursively deletes all files by force. Adding sudo in front, you can even delete system files.

Meaning everything on your computer will disappear.
