    No joke that's pretty much every example I came across trying to get my head around it :D.

    Not sure if using analogies is helpful or just going to be more confusing but, the way I think of a monad is similar to how I used to cook back when I worked in restaurants. I’d prep all my ingredients in small containers so I wouldn’t forget anything, and they’d be ready to go when needed. Then I’d start adding them to the main mixing bowl, one step at a time. If I forgot an ingredient or accidentally flipped the bowl, the recipe would fail — you can’t keep baking after that.

    So a monad is like that bowl: if you mess up, it just dumps everything out and resets your little prep bowls, instead of letting you keep going and make a batch of shitty cookies

    The “main-bowl” is the monad (the context that holds your values).

    The “prep bowls” are the individual values or functions ready to be chained.

    The “dump/reset” is the idea that once something goes wrong, the chain stops safely.

    And “shitty cookies” are the result of not putting a monad in place and just sending it.

    Maybe someone with a more diverse programming background can explain it better. But it's basically a function checker usually wraped in IF ELSE and RETURN.

    Some pseudo code in case my analogy doesn't make sense. 

     
        
def main():
    bowl = get_flour()
    bowl = add_butter(bowl)
    
    if bowl is None:
        return "Recipe failed — restart!"

    bowl = add_sugar(bowl)
    
    if bowl is None:
        return "Recipe failed — restart!"

    return bake(bowl)
