If they don't understand this, can we even call it intelligent life?
Maybe they use Emacs.
Bonus: I googled "emacs" to make sure I got the capitalization right for the post and Google is throwing shade:
Google does the opposite of "vi". Some people just like to watch the world burn.

I just shoot myself whenever I want to leave vim
You don't need to be so drastic just shut down the electricity by the main switch
I rent a place where I don't have direct access to the main switch, so what I do is I just stop paying utilities until Vim closes :)
Or just shoot the main switch if you at least have a line of sight on it
you can just unplug your pc: and that way you won't incur downtime for the rest of the house.

wrong: you press esc multiple times to make sure you are in normal mode.
At least 3 times. 5 to make sure.
sudo nano
until the moment you realize that somehow you are not on your native keyboard layout and where the hell is : and ! in this weird language??!

ESC Z Z
Although I usually bang ESC a few times to
make sure iβm back to command mode
Double Z's will save and then exit. The command on until board will exit without saving changes.

Ctrl-z
ps
kill -9 pid
fg
Alternative:
Ctrl-z
kill -9 %1 # Shell keeps track of job pids for you, job 1 is %1, job 2 is %2, etc
fg # Not technically necessary, but it's fun to see the corpseOk ok, I know it's a meme, but gentle reminder that :x is :w and :q combined (save and exit). I got taught that in high school (it was a dec unix with real vt120 terminals) and luckily for me I remembered that even if I didn't touch vi for a few years afterwards.
Funnily enough, I knew of :x before :w.
What is this sorcery?! I thought you had to reboot each time to exit.
META-C :wq!
ESC is all the way over there and my hand is already on the space bar.

That's only if you don't want to save first (ahem write the buffer).
Odds are if you don't know how to exit vim you probably don't want to save whatever you wrote in there.
Who in there right mind would want to save a bunch of gibberish
