Kbin has been having thumbnail caching issues recently. I tagged Ernest with an example of this yesterday, too.

You can see this thread on the original instance, and notice that this thumbnail doesn't exist there. Kbin pulled this because another link that was posted around the same time had this thumbnail, and Kbin duplicated it for some reason.

EDIT: I don't really know how to report bugs properly, but if anyone knows how to see if this has already been posted on the project page, please feel free to do so.

I remember a bunch of years ago there was a day or so where Imgur had a bug that had randomly re-associated all of its URLs to other images. It was a fun sort of image roulette, if you didn't mind surprise pornography sometimes being the result.

Well you see, she peeled off her clothes because of the heat from the wildfire.

I thought it was someone who died in the fire and got sad.

No clue, but it's not in the article

You can choose to upload your own image instead of using a thumbnail pulled from the article, so I suspect that might be what OP did. To get attention, maybe?

This will be why we can't have nice things, won't it?
