I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”
Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.
When windows has updated and needs to restart it purposefully gets a bit slower/buggy to make people restart the PC.
I completely believe this. If I let my Surface Pro go too long the facial recognition will stop working and the little white light at the top will not turn off. The only fix is to reboot and let it finish updating.
If there is a pending update Windows will allocate ~2 GiB additional RAM

every programming language got something to slow your programm down on purpose (it has legitimate use cases) in rust that would be
thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs_f32(0.025))
