@BrokkoliMuskel@chaos.social 'Tendril perversion perversion' describes a research phenomenon where you look up something on Wikipedia and one thing leads to the next and you spiral down a vortex of interesting information until suddenly the spiral turns and the vortex sucks you deeper and deeper into useless bullshit. Its funnier than the interesting information, thats why it sucks harder.

@BrokkoliMuskel@chaos.social Back in the 70s/80s, people did all sorts of things to have phone conversations anywhere in their house. The usual thing was to run extra jacks to different floors and such, but some people, especially in smaller apartments, would just have these wall phones, with 20+ foot cords on the handset they would pervert, multiple times along the length. Sometimes they would naturally clump up into these nightmare growths reminiscent of some Cenobite horror made of wires and plastic. You would visit these places and it would stay with you for days, the cord, the poor perverted cord.

@BrokkoliMuskel@chaos.social Bei rankenden Pflanzen ist das sogar notwendig. Die Tendrils sind zunächst gerade, und wickeln sich mit der Spitze um einen Halt. Danach werden sie aufgerollt, um die Konstruktion elastisch zu machen. Die Anzahl Linkswindungen und Rechtswindungen muss daher übereinstimmen.
