Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

  11. Community specific rules:
    • Posts that contain any AI-related content as the main focus (for example: AI “hallucinations”, repeated words or phrases, different than expected responses, etc.) will be removed. (polled)

Thanks to Bush II, medical device manufacturers are immune to class action lawsuits!

Yay Capitalism!

My Dad had the leads on his pacemaker fail and caused his heart to be repeatedly and continuously shocked.

Leads were replaced but guess who paid for that?

It wasn't the manufacturer!

If your dad managed to torture the CEO, do you think a jury would convict?

Like honestly.

To be fair, prison treatment aside, the fact that the elderly don't rob banks, confuses me greatly.

Guaranteed housing, meals, and health care.

Sure it's prison, but what is an elder care home, but a prison. for the elderly?

Certain states have better prisons.

Use that social security check to travel to NY and not Texas or Florida.

Use that social security check to pay a lawyer to get you into a really nice jail.
