The other answers tell you how to fix it, but basically the only
"wrong" thing you did here was to pipe things into a command that was
written to take named files on the command line and not read from
stdin.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of
youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do
not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
