The use I see for it is in providing access to critical information in the event of injury or death. One key to family, one to friends, one in a safety deposit box, etc. Copies of legal records and sensitive info can be given to people without the risk it would be misused.
The other use is handing/hiding them out at a convention and making a big ARG out of it. Which sounds like a lot more fun

Another use case: use it to bring people who are estranged together. Put some crypto wallet seed in it. And give it to them and tell them they have work together to access the money.

He absolutely started this project with having a fun name and started to write the code afterwards.

This would be fun for geocaching.
Also would be great for releasing really incriminating evidence in the event of your death/disappearance.

Is this just a threshold secret sharing implementation? Definitely a cool implementation, fun name

It’d only be natural that this command randomly kills a process for each fragment created.
