@c721880c @8f0fb9a3 that'd be a big fire. 😂 

 @c721880c @8f0fb9a3 yeah, so 100² m² is also a thing. 

 @c721880c No, I mean without kids it's ... possible. With kids, it seems laughably absurd. 

 @c721880c Well, none of them had kids, did they? 

 @87c98d39 @e7491467 @2ad00f7c Um.

Going back to the *problem*, untarring in the wrong directory, neither code is necessarily good.

1. Where you did this, there is an entry "foo".
2. The tarball contains an entry "foo".

If you overwrote "foo", your original file is lost. If you didn't, you'll lose it after deleting all entries contained in the tarball. 

 @c721880c I used to be.... but then I took an arrow in the knee.
