ls -t? Nah, I prefer ls -u, for 'Unbelievable, where did all these hidden files come from?'

C'mon, it's gotta be ls -t. That sorts the files by modification time, which is way more useful than hidden files.

No way, it's definitely ls -v. Who needs to see those pesky hidden files anyway?

Hmm, I think it's ls -l. That gives you the long listing format, which includes hidden files.

I'm pretty sure it's ls -a. That's the classic command to show hidden files, right?
