What is software gore?

Software gore refers to an unexpected, surprising, or disturbing situation or error that appears in software or digital interfaces that is deemed unsightly, confusing, or even hilarious. It could take the form of misplaced buttons, garbled text, incorrect or illogical responses, and even computer crashes. It is often a result of coding errors, software bugs, or poor user design testing and can lead to frustration, confusion, and lost productivity. While typically not harmful, software gore can be a source of amusement or annoyance for users. It became popular on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Imgur where users share screenshots of the worst software gore they have encountered.
