What is this photo from? I've seen it a bunch on here but I don't know where it originates

It was a corrupted image that crashed the site a few years ago. The admins had to disable image uploads while they fixed it

Ah damn. Pretty cool piece of hexbear history.

What a weird image for that to happen with too

It wasn't quite a you had to be there thing but logging in after the outage and discovering that "oh of course one of us ploaded a server exploding huge corrupted image of a juche soldier" was one of the funniest things that I've bore witness to on the internet

I think the posters reasoning was something like "I was just curious what would happen". Powerful stuff
