I think I may have found a possible crash blossom (but it's a heading, not a headline) in the wild, assuming you think "factor" is a verb (considering the target audience, they probably do):

The Future Of Camera Form Factors In Your Hands

Spoiler: My interpretation (click to show/hide)

I read that as "The Future of (Camera Form) Factors in Your Hands", which just sounds like "The Future Form of Cameras Perform Factorization in Your Hands". I know everything has cryptography, but that's spooky. That, or "The Future Form of Cameras is Factored (affected?) by Your Hands (you?)", which is a stretch and a half.

From context, the intended reading is "The Future of Camera (Form Factors) in Your Hands". It's supposed to be a snowclone, in the form "The future of X in your hands", X being "Camera Form Factors". I think the fixed phrase "form factors" got confused in my reading and "factors" crashed into verb territory.

I saw that initial Imgur link. Is Imgur just blocking image-loading on Bay12 (I suppose non-HTTPS websites too?) completely now? First profile pics, now just everything? Though checking the Random Art thread and just doing the ol' Ctrl+F5 still loads them just fine, seemingly.

Is it just for new images, then? Here:

If it loaded on your end, then it's fine.
If not, I guess not.

Was it just yours, then, like it's some kind of Schrodinger's image?

The Imgur link didn't work so i just took the orignal link from the actual screenshot

A frametime graph is the opposite of an EKG. If the former is flat, that mean everything's fine. If the latter is flat, you have problems on your hands.

I wonder how many times the authorities have been called due to software performing an illegal operation.

I wanna see a CPU with pointless instructions. For instance, a sin(x) instruction that only allows integer x, and outputs only integers, rounding randomly. x is still in radians. A "vector" multiplication instruction that only operates on 1-dimensional vectors. A floor(x) instruction that only works on integer x.

I'd be more interested in an analog processor, where instead of registers to hold digital values, you really do store analog quantities.  You could theoretically use one capacitor to store an arbitrary precision value, and just use an ADC when you want the result in a digital form.
