'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 great name for a band.
@philbetts @BrokkoliMuskel Even The King sang about it - "Love me tendril, love me true, all my dreams fulfill".

@BrokkoliMuskel I'm confused, though. Why would a clever engineering trick (avoid torsion upon stretching) be hugely annoying?

I observed that when my cucumber plant grew over to the pitcher plant.
This is caused because it first grows straight over and then wraps around the destination. And after that it does that helical thingy to get rid of extra length.
And that extra length exists because in order to find the destination where it wants to connect to it basically sweeps left and right while growing until it hits something to hold onto. But it may slide off multiple times until it is long enough.

And that thingy then is the direct outcome of it coiling itself up as at that point it is already fixed at both sides.
- Well at least for my sample size of 1 it was.

@BrokkoliMuskel FINALLY a word for why my old telephone cords did that! And also why searching it also brought up porn.
@kestral I thought the same thing. Also trying to fix it while on a long call was also done. @BrokkoliMuskel

@BrokkoliMuskel Ungefragter Fun Fact: Hokusai, der „Der Traum der Fischerfrau“ mit dem Oktopus gezeichnet hat, ist derselbe Künstler wie bei der berühmten „Großen Welle vor Kanagawa“. Also dem Motiv auf dem 1.000-Yen-Schein. Als wäre Günter Zint der Hausfotograf des Kanzleramts gewesen.
