One's inability to steer one's focus away from certain web sites known for containing large amounts of snippets of entertaining content or having exceedingly high link density, such as Wikipedia, IMDB, Urban Dictionary, or TV Tropes. Typically, snapping out of this trance requires a powerful external stimulus, such as hunger, fatigue, a nagging significant other/family member, or a power outage.
Man, I was looking up Johnny Depp's new movie at work the other day on IMDB and I totally felt myself falling into the vortex. I didn't climb out until my boss walked in.
Guy 1: Don't bother trying to talk to him. He's fallen into the vortex.
Guy 2: Well, he hasn't eaten or slept in about 20 hours, so he's bound to come out of it soon.

Get the Falling into the vortexmug. Matt said "Holy shit! look at that vortex of awesomeness!!!"
Over the years, Matt and Kyle have learned to extend their peripheral vision to 360 degrees in hopes of scouting out every vortex.
Shelly's vortex eats all other vortexes, as well as black holes, planets, stars and occasionally galaxies.

My heater broke, now my house is a polar vortex.

Get the Vortex of Fuckmug. The vomit vortex is created by driving at excessive speeds down the pensacola bridge following 11 hours of binge drinking. The vortex creator needs to consume fish tacos prior to departure, lean over, and puke into the car's slipstream, creating a vomit vortex.
