1. Any whimsical/common event that occurs in the popular browser game slither.io.
2. A similar phenomenon to any of such events occurring in a similar game such as Splix or PowerLine.
Examples of slither.io moments include:
A) The chaos that ensues after a very large snake dies, often lasting for several minutes as many noobies quickly get big and reach the leaderboard, then die soon after, rinse and repeat. This generally happens near the map's center.
B) When most of the leaderboard consists of angry morons caught up in the dark crevasse of mainstream US politics. Names used by such players include: "BIDEN IS A TRAITOR" "MAGAS ARE RETARDED" "SEND TRUMP TO JAIL" "TO HELL WITH THE DEMONRATS (sic)". Even if you suck at the game, you're advised to kill any such player you see. Religious names don't count.
C) A moment when a massive snake somehow dies to a tiny player who just entered the game. These little powerhouses often rise to dominate the leaderboard, and I respect them with my whole heart.
D) A moment when you are merely minding your own business and several snakes all smash into your tail at once. This is far more common in a suicidal slither knockoff (powerline.io) due to its extreme lag, but it still counts, probably.
E) In the browser version of slither.io, the network lag is infamously horrible. Often times the game completely freezes for a few seconds, and when it resumes, you discover you randomly died during your disconnection.
