Does it need any more explanation than "it was funny to present a straightforward statement of a mundane action as if it involves some terrifying unworldly eldritch horror"?
I'm spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to present a necro-answer in a concise but clear way. Oh well, will be worth it to be satisfied with the final product.
gasps for breath finally finished that necro-answer!
(come to think of it, should've done the tag edits to the question before posting the answer, because it shows up in the front-page as "modified by" me and people might think it's just me editing again)
We have a tag solvability, with excerpt:
A question about how a puzzle can be solved.
However, "solvability" seems to imply that you'd be asking about whether a puzzle can be solved. New users especially won't figure this out, and I end up editing this tag into quite a few puzzles where it was ...
I am given the following cryptographic puzzle and am unsure how to solve it:
0 5 15 5 12 20 6 7 19 21 7 6 25 14 6 21 8
Could you help me what the logic of the data is and let me know how you solved it? I already made up several ideas but they do not seem to be right.
Thanks for your help!
I got this from a neighbor, but I don't know why.

This crossword is a tribute to the 1994 album Awake by Dream Theater.1 No knowledge of the music itself is required for solving.
Some clues are missing a part which has been replaced by two question marks (??). Before solving, each of these must be filled with a different track title from the alb...
Find the cubic roots of the following complex numbers.
$\sqrt[3]{(-33+56i)-(-24+10i)}$, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{(50i)}{4}-\frac{(-8+6i)}{4}}$, $\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1072+8946i)}{324}-\frac{(-12008+9594i)}{324}}$
@bobble Doesn't have an exclamation mark at the end, so it's probably a word for "Who" + a word for "consumes" giving a word for "estimates"
BTW still waiting on a more satisfying explanation for the C4 - Sid already found the correct answer, MINIMS, and one part of their explanation is completely correct, the other is halfway there
What follows here is a little Easter Egg hunt I've pulled together for you all this year. Ultimately, you need to discover a single word of four letters in length which will be revealed by the puzzle once all steps have been fully resolved.
Happy hunting, and Happy Easter!
