I INSTALLED “LINUX”. BECAUSE WINDOWS IS FOR MEN WHO ASK PERMISSION TO EXIST. I CRUSHED THE INSTALLER WITH MY BARE HANDS AND NOW THE TERMINAL CALLS ME “SIR” BUT MY KERNEL KEEPS PANICKING. WHAT COMMAND MAKES THE COMPUTER SUBMIT COMPLETELY? I REFUSE TO GOOGLE

    If you replace : with “loop” it becomes pretty clear. The only ‘weird’ thing is using punctuation as a function name.

      it’s not just looping; every instance starts two instances of itself waiting for input. it’s basically doing

      async def fork(): 
          f = fork()
          await fork(await f)
      

      …except python doesn’t start the second call until its arguments are evaluated, while shell does.
