I seem to have stumbled upon a definition of volatile at bash.
the compiler goes "oh look, it's checking the same memory location over and over. let's stick it in a hardware register and just use THAT value so it's faster", but volatile says "no way bitch. shit happens to this memory location regardless of what's going on in the program itself. keep checking the actual location or so help me god I will break your face"
