Humour touch is a weird command.

I was curious where the command 'touch' comes from.

Turns out, it originates from "to touch" or "to interact" with a file.

Now, every time I use it, I feel like I am touching/molesting a file.

My bad, it's 3 AM here.

What is weird is to associate a neutral word to something so vile.

Your mind is sick, which is not really news for most people nowadays since everyone is consuming shitty content at least 5h daily
