I found a way to reset VSCode such that it works again.

Step one: Reset your $PATH variable -> this is temporary because all sorts of funky stuff starts to happen if you reset this:

$cd #go to home directory

$nano .bash_profile

# while in nano:

\export PATH="[path to anaconda python3]"

# save and exit

# reset .bash_profile

$. .bash_profile

now we need to set PATH to what it was, but nano will no longer work, so we put following into the terminal:

$usr/bin/nano ~/.bash_profile

delete the line "\export PATH="[path to anaconda python3]""

# reset .bash_profile again

$. .bash_profile

Now if you open up VScode (or a new terminal in VScode), it should work!
