  I'm fascinated by your comment because I mentally parsed it correctly from the start. I presume you hadn't heard of a CPU die before? I'm not sure how else this could be misunderstood on an initial read.

    I am well aware of CPU dies. But as I wrote that first sentence I read it "bad" from your perspective! I correlate much stronger "dies" with death than with a die.

      ....except when I see it literally next to the term, CPU....

    Most of the posts here with “dies” in the title are about public figures who have died. If you are used to those and are scanning through the posts it is easy to read “dies” in that context first and then the rest of the sentence.

    They might actually both be true. A sibling comment seems to indicate they don't do this any more and the main gallery page hasn't been updated in four years. It's possible that the project to put artwork on CPU dies has died, though the webpage hosting the gallery has clearly not died.

  If you're a visual learner, Tom Scott made a great video about these "Crash Blossoms": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldT2g2qDQNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldT2g2qDQNQ
