I'm pretty sure I've actually seen lemmy logs grow that fast

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I've had that happen with database logs where I used to work, back in 2015-6.
The reason was a very shitty system that, for some reason, threw around 140 completely identical delete queries per millisecond. When I say completely identical, I mean it. It'd end up something like this in the log:
Of course, "no way it's our system, it handles too much data, we can't risk losing it, it's your database that's messy". Yeah, sure, I set up triggers to repeat every fucking delete query. Fucking morons. Since they were "more important", database logging was disabled.
Having query logging enabled on a production database is bonkers. The duplicate deletes are too but query logging is intended for troubleshooting only. It kills performance.
Take a wild guess as to why it had to be enabled in the first place, and only for Delete queries.
