This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Careful: chmod -X also looks for any existing exec bits:
$ umask 0$ >foo >bar$ ls -al foo bar
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
$ chmod o+x foo$ ls -al foo bar
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
-rw-rw-rwx 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
$ chmod u=rwX,g=rX,o=rX foo bar$ ls -al foo bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 bar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 0 Sep 10 00:00 foo
This is exactly what I expect, so I never got tripped up by this. But yes, it’s worth pointing out that this will expand the executable flag on files that are already executable and set it on folders too. But not set it on files that aren’t executable at all.
u=rwX,g=rX,o=rX because this won’t make every file executable, only folders.

Looks like a handy flag
