    And if you want to do feats in the style of Jackass, I recommend that you do those experiments in QEMU-KVM and / or Virtualbox.

    I get the impression that it shows the manpages we have by removing them from our system. It is strange that the cd man command is not available on my computer or on that website

      I think that is not the case, because there it shows some "man" of commands that are not on my system, and in my case I do not have the "man" of the command "cd", since I think it is bullshit because it is only "cd path »without further ado, it has no other function.
