Just a friendly reminder to everyone, don't copy and paste commands into the terminal. There could be invisible characters that can execute unwanted operations.

FWIW, that relies on hiding input via CSS, which -- outside of a separate exploit of HN's comment sanitiser -- is not an option in a HN comment.

fish shell gets around this nicely it appears; no commands are run until you explicitly hit enter (so you see the nefarious extra hidden commands before they're ran), even with the newline chars it seems to understand you're pasting a block

You can also just do "youtube-dl U7VwtOrwceo"
