Turns out, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to celebrating software acting outside its parameters and its unpredictable malfunctions. It sounds geeky, but believe me, you don't need to be a hacker to appreciate it.

Nearly 1 million members belong to the online community, sharing pics and videos of the biggest glitches in the Matrix, including the time Netflix praised the Nazi party and an Uber driver went exploring in the sea.

"The failures that go viral within our community are usually those that have some humor in them," a moderator of the subreddit told Bored Panda. "For example, the description for the 'Hitler and the Nazis' documentary being displayed under the Spongebob movie."

The moderator said people who follow the subreddit seem to be really invested in it. "From the interactions I've seen, people often have an interest in programming and will try to theorize why the software failed. Some will also often meme the failure if it's funny."

But don't think that only regular home users experience software disruptions. For example, more than 100 flights to and from London's Heathrow airport were disrupted on the 16 of February 2020, after it was hit by technical issues, affecting departure boards and check-in systems. A spokesperson for Heathrow didn't say much, just bleated that it happened "due to the sensitive nature of those processes."

Another memorable software hiccup happened a few years earlier, in mid-January, 2016. Then, the Nest smart thermostat (owned by Google) experienced a glitch after a software update went wrong, forcing the device's batteries to drain and leaving it unable to control temperature, meaning that American users were unable to heat their homes or get hot water on one of the coldest weekends of the year. The company said the fault had been caused by a firmware update and quickly rolled out a new one to solve the issue.

You can't live without technology but sometimes you can't live with it, too.

This reminds me of sim city, I think I've made a bridge like this when I played it as a child. The cars still could drive through though XD

Would not be fun. Would rather jump off a cliff than endure this. My stomach is sensitive to fast motion. This is also not scientifically possible due to,cars cannot yet stick to walls so also it’s in the water and as well you would fail to get out of it and even if you sped into it you would be slowed by the force of the water You wouldn’t have enough momentum. Besides you would just crash straight down and without a ramp you would fail to cross without falling in the water or getting stuck

I've been across that channel when I was 9 yo. It's in Greece. Scared me but the bridges were "normal" way back then, lol.

When I was a child, there were no bridges over some of the riverbeds close to my home in south of Spain (the rivers are dry 99.9% of the time), the roads would just follow the curves. My dad would accelerate a bit to pass them to amuse my sister and I.

Why u surprised? Dogs are secretly superheroes, quietly saving our collective asses. U know that thing u lose, and can't find and after sometime u do. Who do u think does that?. The good boy is just safety persona., So u don't suspect a thing

Ok, this really made me laugh out loud! And now I want to listen to it, just to know what it sounds like. Did the program really interpret system preferences like an audio file (that would be so cool and weird)... or did someone make an audio file with that title and matching thumbnail for the laughs? Now I come to think about it, probably the latter...
