alternatively, “a worm turning in his grave” could indicate the existential futility of a pursuit because worms live underground, and so they already spend their lives in the place where they will die. e.g “I hate my nine-to-five, I just feel like a worm turning in his grave.”

Remembered the phrase "[someone] is turning in his grave", as a way of saying that someone who's now dead would so deeply disapprove of something that a living person is doing that their corpse would stir in unease.

Then I remembered an expression, "even a worm will turn", as a way of saying that no matter how downtrodden or lowly someone seems, they can nonetheless turn against their abusers and oppressors once they've had enough of it.

Then cross-contamination happened and the phrase "a worm is turning in his grave" emerged to me. I have no idea what that means.

frustratingly clever

"Average person discovers infinitely many infinities per year" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average person discovers 0 infinities per year. Cantor Georg, who introduced the diagonal argument and discovered infinitely many infinities in 1891 alone, is an outlier and cannot be counted.

I see your posts and laugh, but don’t I understand, each one’s a little prayer, a cry for help to your better self. Our hope is proof of our best desires.

I think our coins should have holes in them. Currencies with holes in them are just superior currencies. All currency should be something you can string like beads. China knows what's up.
