I kind of view bash piping as the worlds easiest install package.

Unequivocally, it is dangerous to run random pieces of code from the internet, it just seems odd to me that if this same code was in a nice packaged install wizard nobody would say anything about it.

Maybe it should include a first step of piping it to less for review, followed by piping to bash if it looks fine. Slightly better...

At which point the people who know how to read it will do so (I did, out of curiosity) because it's so easy, and the people who don't will get

  if [[jargon -f "words!"]]
    jargon # jargon jargon
    jargon /&$_)(82
  fi # jargon the jargon
  jar(){
    gon                           # yay pictures!        #

    ˙π¡˜ø£•¶√≠˚•™µº–£¨≤           # <= ˚∆˚! but it works #
  }

and just go to the next step.
