    In fact why not just call it the America shell? Heck, why not drop all words and say USA instead? The bash shell is now known as “usa usa usa”. Hey, here’s an idea, let’s just replace all words with usa! Usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa. Usa usa? Usa, usa usa.

    Ways to easily spot that this is fake:

    • not all letters are in CAPS
    • too much punctuation
    • message is too clear and not confusing enough
    • no racism
    • no scapegoat

      it went wrong when he asked a question and answered with probably.

      it would instead go straight to THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO BASH AMERICAN CITIZENS or something

      there’s no room for questions or probabilities in fascism, things need to be certain, binary, simple, and scary.

    If you want the joke decoded:

    -e return immediately for some failed commands

    -u throw an error for unset variables

    -s non functional

    -a everything is marked for export

          BABASH includes the following changes from bash:

          • The kill command has been replaced by baptise and exorcise. baptise prevents a program from spawning a daemon, and exorcise terminates daemons.
          • All quoting must be annotated with a bible verse number
          • Due to manpage shenanigans with touch, touch has been renamed to exalt. Attempting to access the manpage for touch will be reported.
          • Using pipelines will no longer do clean up for the user

    I was going to say that, according to wikipedia, the creator of bash was heavily involved in open source software, including founding 2 non-profits to promote open source election systems, which would make them a radical leftist, but then i remembered that Donald Trumps favorite app is open source

      Most bash scripts are nasty, except for the most simple ones.

      In its defense, it’s not a programming language.

          Do programmers actually like bash?

          I’m not a programmer and I really don’t like bash. Not because I don’t like shell. In fact I do like fish as a shell. But bash always feels super weird. Unfortunately that’s kind of the compatibility baseline on Linux (I don’t think any relevant system needs strict sh compatibility). But better bash’s weird arrays than none at all, plus process substitution is handy.

            Its a program wrapper, and eases a lot of string buffoonery that real languages take too seriously. So I think its invaluable to programmers in that regard
