It's weird how this is written to make them sound more like animals or insects than a computer algorithm... "thrash around" lol

I understood it as "thrashing" in a computer science sense. When RAM fills up and the kernel has to swap aggressively, that's called thrashing

It's because the tool is named Nepenthes, after the pitcher plants, into which victims fall, cannot escape, and thrash around until they die and are digested.
