sudo tail /dev/earth > /dev/null would clear the earth of the youngest dude/ettes first! your (good) intention however, is to clear the earth of the oldest (in keeping with the "first-in-first-out" principle) "until every remaining person can afford some decent acreage of arable land". ama?

First of all, this operation should only be carried out by members in the sudoers list; And old peeps should be gotten rid of, assuming /dev/earth is a kind of stack structure... So here's my suggestion:
sudo tail /dev/earth > /dev/null
Above operation may be repeated until /dev/earth has enough space to bring land prices down :-)

/dev/earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can.
cp /dev/null /dev/earth
Simple, right? It becomes empty in a split second:) Perhaps you need chflags noschg /dev/earth first, as it might be having the immutable bit set?
