It’s a fork bomb. Specifically it’s a piece of code that recursively calls itself and then it calls itself to run the code.

Thank goodness it did not work, but please do not actually run code like this!! Do your best to figure out what the code is doing before you attempt to run it!

Nevermind I figured what went wrong, I mistyped it initially ! It would have been much easier to copy paste it if it wasn't a picture...

Fun fact, the command displays a nice cat picture in ASCII :)
