I just realized that CPU's are essentially electronic hookers, for processes.
They'll service any process that calls upon them, but keep switching between various processes so that it can spend time fairly with each of its processes. And of course, they'll immediately abandon their current process if one with a higher priority reveals itself and attend to that one instead. Once it is finished, it'll return to its less-important processes.
Kinda sounds like a hooker to me... 🤔
