Explanation

In this comic, Cueball seems to have found a porn folder. However, it contains a directory loop, set up by a person off-screen. It is possible to actually do this, and it would seem that the difficulty of doing it turns him on.


Transcript

[Cueball] So I thought I found your porn folder in /calendar/backup/PORN/

[Person off-screen] Don't open that!

[Cueball]But it contains a bunch more folders, filled with more folders, and then... after 20 levels, somehow I'm back at the main level?

[Off-screen]It's, uh, well hidden.

[Cueball]I think there's no actual porn here. You're just turned on by filesystems.

[Off-screen]It's a hardlinked directory loop--so taboo!

[Cueball]Now I feel dirty sharing a drive with you.
