The only thing I got about fractals is that if you keep zooming you will see the same pattern repeated, but I don’t get it. First of all, you have to zoom on the border, so you technically can’t zoom anywhere and you get the same pattern, second why is the Mandelbrot so weird? Why all those weird shapes? Couldn’t it just be something normal? Also, why you can dezoom from a Mandelbrot fractal and those weird things happen. It’s just too complicated for my little brain

Fractals are basically drawing a shape based on a formula that can be repeated infinitely such that you end up creating smaller and smaller versions of the shape.
A super simple example is drawing a circle. Then inside the circle, draw another circle that’s half the diameter. Then inside that one draw a circle that’s half that diameter, and so on. It’s not very complex, but it is a fractal.
“why do they even have a pattern”
Because if they didn’t, we just wouldn’t call it a fractal.
