It seems like a pretty good space filling method for a worm. Probably also has something to do with not eating away the leaf your worm body trailing behind you is clutching.

What did you expect, the ~~Gilbert~~Hilbert curve? Wait, is this actually a rough Hilbert curve?

Edit: Gilbert? Why autocorrect? Why? I know no Gilberts. This is the first time I've ever intentionally typed Gilbert.

Every American should report the inaccurate name to Google repeatedly until they change it back. How many reports would it take to at least inconvenience Google?

Beginner tutorials exist. Have you even tried looking? Linux has better documentation than anything I've seen in any other OS. Man pages, help files, and commented configuration files galore in just about every single Linux distro without any Internet needed, but it sounds like you never even bothered to look for them.

Sure, assholes online exist in Linux communities, but they are EVERYWHERE. We've got a couple right right here. That doesn't exactly distinguish FOSS communities from any other.

Generalizations about all of FOSS based on your limited experience with a few distros is just asinine. FOSS is way more than an operating system.

Expecting a machine to hold your hand through your learning is such a weird form of entitlement and an especially weird distinction to make since no other operating system does that to the level you expect either.

Corporations pay for support services. The code is free (as in speech). No one ever claimed that the support was also (or even should be) free. Microsoft support is a joke. Apple support is mostly just a sales scheme. Linux support forums might be hostile to entitled noobs looking for a handout and a quick fix, but they are fucking heros when given a chance to help those who put in the effort to help themselves.

I pretty sure that's not what non-Eucludian means. It's not just built on a rounded surface. The lines of latitude and longitude we define on a globe may exhibit non-Eucludian geometry, but that doesn't mean your house is non-Eucludian.

These things are non-Eucludian: parallel lines that diverge or converge; triangles with interior angles don't add up to 180 degrees; hallways that appear perfectly straight, but also intersect with themselves; square rooms where every wall is perpendicular, but opposite walls aren't always parallel. Brain breaking stuff, not "all of our geometry". That would be dumb.

No, the title is a homophone for a slang term for ejaculation.

They knew what they were doing. Obviously this is (I assume) just more of the same step-family kink fad nobody asked for.

This is a fun experiment, but it's not precisely the peaks and troughs of the actual waves themselves that you're seeing, it's the maximums and minimums of the amplitude from those waves interfering with their reflections. You see the interference pattern, not the waves.

They shouldn't be separate in the first place. It's just bad design that's prone to failure. And in this case that failure mode is VERY far from failsafe, it's potentially deadly.

Too bad those "easily accessible manual releases" aren't the actual door handle and are hidden so well you'd never find them if you were unfamiliar with the vehicle.
