"Simple and easily explained."
Pretty sure I can learn my grandma to put a fork in any socket to close Vim, no prior knowledge needed
you can close vim?
"this is my life now"
Does colon-capital-Q-exclamation mark even work? I'm pretty sure it's only lower case q.

It's your process, why shouldn't you be able to write to it? Vi is certainly doing it...
You do need to be root to do it to arbitrary processes.
dumb way.
Get fancy, add progress bar: pv < /dev/zero > "/proc/$(pidof vim)/mem"
