I think it would continue even after it’s own deletion as the binary is already loaded into memory, so process is not dependent on the file system. Still doubt that it’ll complete successfully. Most likely the system crashes in the middle.
Yes, though you could also do rm -rf /* afaik to not need --no-preserve-root
Edit: I just realized that the * is already in the meme. So this should already work as is. Alternatively you could always use the good old way of “act now and remove all French roots of your system: rm -fr / --no-preserve-root”

I thought - - no-preserve root also needed to be added as an argument for self destruct to completely work.

”i dont get why you can’t just do
sudo rm -fr /
because it won’t let you do that:
That’s not the reason why it continues. It’s because there’s still a file descriptor open to
rm
.
