Another shadowbanned user here. Used to be an occasional poster, made posts if I had something meaningful to add. At some point I noticed that I never got replies, but didn't think much of it, continued posting. Then, one day I looked

That's a really strange phone you're describing. Did it have a single hole on the dial? Where are you from? I too used rotary phones - I'm 28 (if it makes a difference) and I grew up in a former Soviet republic. The phone had

Isn't that what I said? A funny cat picture posted all over the place is called a meme, but not all memes are cat pictures.

Writing in first one won't save you since "in" splits by whitespace, not newline. If you really have to do that, use "find ... | while read file; do" instead.
