Shit meme, I know.

Not a shit meme at all ! In fact, I want to convert that to ASCII art and have it as the MOTD when I sudo -i or console in as root.

Why would you sudo su? That defeats the purpose of sudo.
- You get tired of playing Simon Says when you're doing a lot of admin stuff at once.
  
  Well then still sudo -s would suffice, no?
  
  If you do multiple admin commands, sudo doesn't prompt for your password. There's some time limit before having to re input it.
  Logging in as root is bad security hygiene. You'll become complacent and leave it logged in at some point. That's how you get pwnd.
- I use sudo su 'cause I can type it quicker than sudo -i
  
  Why use the - i?
  I just sudo [command].
- If I ever need to switch to the root user, I usually type su, but I saw someone use sudo su - in a video, which I thought was pretty strange but maybe the video creator knew something I didn't, or it wasn't possible to simply su a few years ago.
sudo -i
