    Yeah, not only does +x leave read/write permissions untouched, it also only makes it executable for the user, not for everyone and their cat.

    Cat doesn't execute anything tho, it just reads and gives output

    The cat command executes the cat program.

    chmod 666 so only the devil can execute it

    I don't use chmod nearly often enough to remember these numbers. I know there's a mathematical way to figure it out, but I cba to do that when u+wrx more or less tells me exactly what it does (grant the User Write, Read, and eXecute permissions)

    When I start fucking with chmod, it happens way too often that what I want to do only works after I executed chmod 777...

    chmod -R 600 ~/, because I dont trust anyone, not even myself.

    chmod 755 for when setting permissions to directories. chmod +x for making something executable right when I am about to run it.
