    I’m too scared to do this but someone who’s braver than me plz tell if it creates an infinite loop or just stops right away.

      I’ve tried it. It uses up one core of your processor, but you can always ctrl+C to stop it. I’ve never had it crash the system.

      It is the ultimate infinite file, representing a garbage bin with no history. DigitalOcean has a great article on that topic.
