        I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?

        Changing timestamps and creating empty files…

        Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔

          It does make sense! When you modify a file, you do “things” on it, you write it. So the minimum you can possibly do to a file to modify it, is “to poke it”: to touch it.

            I mean I’m sure that’s the logic or something but…

            Man it just feels wrong. Like the sonic hedgehog gene feels wrong. You know?

              Hahahha, I just learnt about that gene a little while ago and thought the same: that’s an stupid name for a gene. How would you name them? (the gene and the command)

                Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)

                Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.

                Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so…

                Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊

          Ah Donglegate, good times. Even funnier that the guy who got fired because of this lady’s tweet sided with her like a meek little bitch.

      I wonder if you could make it sass you every so often to complete the effect.

      Fucking shutdown

      Chill my man. I’m on it.
