EDIT: wrong, the first element was empty and I was trying to print it with ${array} which apparently only yields the first element for some ungodly fucking reason

TIL that any values you set inside a loop in bash are gone after the loop finishes because bash loops spawn a subshell or something

I am impressed, like, this makes bash loops Completely Fucking Useless for anything beyond extremely basic tasks

What the actual fuck???
