Can somebody please tell me what history -c is?

history displays a list of all commands you have run on the terminal since the history list was last cleared. It is invaluable for referring back to a big complex command or set of commands you ran at some point in the past. The -c flag clears that history.

Fuck, I just cleared my history.
