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.

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.

A weather system that results in record-breaking cold temperatures. Can also be used as euphemism for "really fucking cold" or "fucking freezing."
Schools are closed because the polar vortex dropped temperatures below zero F.
My heater broke, now my house is a polar vortex.

DST Vortex ( or DSTV ) is the vortex in which those with varying degrees of DST compliant time keeping devices get lost due to recent DST changes.
Boss: Why the crap were you late this morning?
Employee: My time keeping devices, which are new enough to keep DST but too old to recognize the recent DST changes, changed time erroneously, causing great confusion and tardiness.
Boss: Oh. You mean you got stuck in the DST Vortex?
Employee: Yeah, that.
Boss: Dork.
