A fractal is an extremely complex geometric form consisting of smaller copies of itself repeating across (theoretically) infinitely smaller scales, the whole a development of a disarmingly simple mathematical formula. When a fractal is fed into a computer that is also programmed to cycle the colours of the visual spectrum through the pattern, the result can be pleasantly trippy.
Wow, fractals on screen! Let's drop some acid and watch the grooviness!!!

Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"

A more exaggerated version of an anal fissure. Fractals are much bigger holes and look much worse. The word is generally used to make fun of people but it can also be used during medical speech, but it is highly unlikely.
