A sorting algorithm where every other element is swapped with the previous element, then every 3rd element is swapped with the previous element, then every 4th element is swapped with the previous element, and ao on, until only the last element is swapped.

The process of doing really dumb content just for money or attention. Bella Poarch is a prime example. Also, Reaction content that is extremely dumb but, abuses the algorithm and gains gullible people's attention. At first one may think the poster themself is stupid but, in reality they are intelligent for making such dumb content while efficiently wasting people's time.
Hey, Bro I posted a new reaction video and got 50,000 views I have been retard maxing lately low effort content is the way to go

A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the vehicle from "running away" by accelerating down the hill. They are not usually capable of bringing vehicles to a standstill, as their effectiveness diminishes as vehicle speed lowers. They are usually used as an additional "assistance" to slow vehicles, with the final braking done by a conventional friction braking system. As the friction brake will be used less, particularly at higher speeds, their service life is increased, and since in those vehicles the brakes are air-actuated helps to conserve air pressure too.
Friction-based braking systems are susceptible to "brake fade" when used extensively for continuous periods, which can be dangerous if braking performance drops below what is required to stop the vehicle – for instance if a truck or bus is descending a long decline. For this reason, such heavy vehicles are frequently fitted with a supplementary system that is not friction-based.
Retarders are not restricted to road motor vehicles, but may also be used in railway systems. The British prototype Advanced Passenger Train (APT) used hydraulic retarders to allow the high-speed train to stop in the same distance as standard lower speed trains, as a pure friction-based system was not viable.

An insult meant for someone who would lay down their opinion as absolute fact despite being intellectually dishonest. Typically once their claim has been addressed, instead of engaging with the point, they will quickly blurt out something off the top of their head that usually will yet again be dishonest.

someone or something that is more than just retarded, it is the extreme version or next level of retardation
person 1.
dude, i just lost a game of rock, paper, scissors to Helen Keller
person 2.
man, that is piss retarded!
