 I got my latte, looked at the art. "Oh is this a bee?" "No it's a swan on an inverted rosetta". "Hah, Ok."

I assumed it was a joke until I did an image search for "swan on an inverted rosetta" 
 @e8df75ff The New Hampshire techno-utopia. Not sure what year it is but the date is roughly October 10th. 
 @53c578bc I mean, is there a polite way of asking those people what part of "permanent deletion" and "not reversible" they don't understand? 
 @53c578bc Another thought - if this turns out to be one of these "force of nature" situations where there's nothing to be gained from fighting it - how long do they go before doing this process and coming back to restore it? Maybe you could do a time bomb thing.

And maybe from there, see about making a "actually, delete this now!" button. So most people would just click "okay" instead. They'd have to go out of their way to "do it now". Maybe that won't work, but maybe worth a try?
