The most horrifying form of torture/punishment in the known Universe. The Total Perspective Vortex (it's so mind bogglingly terrifying it even gets Capital Letters) is a small, featureless steel box, barely big enough for one man to stand in.
The hopeless victims stand in the Vortex, and are suddenly shown, for the merest instant, the whole of the Universe: the whole infinity of creation, spanning over several trillion light years, and countless millennia, with an insignificant dot saying "You Are Here".
The victims, totally demoralised by their experience, fall dead from the vortex, wherupon they become the burden of the Vortex' custodian, Pizpot Gargravarr.
To date, Zaphod Beeeblebrox (former President of the Galaxy, and "The best bang since the Big one") is the only man to have survived the vortex, solely because he is a hoopy frood and the Vortex told him as much.
The total perspective vortex derives its picture of the whole Universe on the principle of extrapolated matter analyses.
To explain - since every piece of matter in the Universe is in some way affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation - every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake.
The man who invented the Total Perspective Vortex did so basically to annoy his wife.
Trin Tragula - for that was his name - was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.
And she would nag him incessantly about the utterly inordinate amount of time he spent staring out into space, or mulling over the mechanics of safety pins, or doing spectrographic amalyses of pieces of fairy cake.
"Have some sense of proportion!" she would say, sometimes as often as thirty-eight times in a single day.
And so he built the Total Perspective Vortex - just to show her.
And into one end he plugged the whole of reality as extrapolated from a single piece of fairy cake, and into the other end he plugged his wife: so that when he turned it on she saw in one instant the whole infinity of creation and herself in relation to it.
To Trin Tragula's horror, the shock completely annihilated her brain; but to his satisfaction he realised that he had proved conclusively that if life is going to exist in a Universe of this siz, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.

When a polar vortex ends, and temperatures soar into the single digits ABOVE ZERO so that folks in the heartland start shedding layers of clothing.
Jeepers, 8 degrees above zero feels awesome after that insane polar vortex!
Did you see those barely dressed college students go by?
Yup, it's like they say, No Shirt, No Shoes, No Vortex.
This occurs most frequently when you are in a hurry or already late to be somewhere. No matter how fast you drive or what roads you take you still get stuck by every red light.
The most frustrating thing that happens is when you are approaching an intersection with a green light and just when you think you finally will catch a break.. the light turns to a quick yellow back to red.
This can be a contributing factor to inducing road rage.
Driver: Alright last call is in 20 mins guys we can make it.
15 mins later......
Passenger 1: Ok this isn't even cool.. we seriously got every red light so far.
Passenger 2: Were officially trapped in the red light vortex.. kiss that tasty cold pitcher of beer goodbye guys...

The guild from Frostmane who banished the allmighty Drexxler in between dimensions. But the 7 crystal shards have been reunited, and Drexxler has come to take his throne on Frostmane. Blood Vortex is one of the factions against the Drexxler movement, and will be destroyed under the hand of Drexxler.
Did you hear, Drexxler has returned to unleash his fury against Blood Vortex!

The Vortex of Dog Fuckery is act of dog fucking at work by a singular individual at such a sustained effort which drags the rest of the team down with them.
Ryan don’t suck me into your vortex of dog Fuckery. I really need this job.
23 saws above ToshDeluxe's version of the Geometry Dash level scattered in a very recognizable pattern. The saws are there to match the amount of objects in the original version of the level, as Tosh added some objects to make the level automatic in some parts, however the level couldn't be uploaded then. This became a short-lived meme when it happened, but was revived in June-July 2022.
This is my Tuvalu flag redesign with the pattern of the Devil vortex saws.
