I always look in zsh history for this string:

sudo dd if=/path/to/debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso of=/not/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress

/dev/sda is the usb drive, will be ofc. deleted fully; not a partition like /dev/sdaX but the actual /dev/sda disk itself.

I specifically added /not/dev/sda at the beginning for systems where I have not set up unset zle_bracketed_paste and that might press enter on paste or after I edit the .iso but not of. That way I’m forced to think when editing of.
