Someone tried to upload a massive image file of a pixel art DPRK soldier and crashed the site. I don't remember the specifics, but I think it was something along the lines of the image hosting service/program trying to load the whole file into RAM and leaving none for the other stuff running on the server. Antics ensued.
I think that a user noticed something possibly wonky with image uploads and mentioned it in the proper forum for fixing stuff. Then somebody decided (or was being a wrecker, can't remember which) to test out the issue.
ive always wondered the lore behind this. what is it?

:dprk-walk: I think this guy is from Google Maps Streetview, actually.
yeah, wasn't the image file somehow gigabytes in size and was like the largest possible upload you could possibly ever consider submitting?
literally put 100% of server load onto trying to accept the upload lel
oh holy shit that's awesome
