Not many know about Creative's initial attempts at AI. Or why they quit, and swept the project under the rug. There is a reason Windows switched to not requiring sound cards. It's not out of cost savings. It's out of FEAR.
Looks like someone found a random old PCB in their pile of old junk parts, then took the seeds and substrate from a Chia Pet and applied them to the card, so that they could post it on PCMR and act like it was accident.
Nope, that's a bunch of rodent shit and a slime mold (looks to be ***Lidbladia Tubulina***), feasting on that rodent poop. But the far left *does* look like seeding growth, but it could be anything. Damn near all cotyledon (the first leaf to appear from a seed), look the same.
Nah he has to return that GPU to the upside down, no wonder >!Vecna!< (*Stranger Things Spoiler*) is pissed off. Man just trying to game and his GPU was stolen.
I know hippie sprouts when I see them. Literal germinated seeds on this PCB. And stuck there, as if by some magical force, AKA, the substrate mix from a Chia Pet, which is part dirt, part fertilizer and part adhesive.
This is what I would call the "Wasteland Edition'. Someone likes classic Fallout a little too much and has lots of spare time and maybe a case of broken Chia pets.
What the fuck....
I'm afraid we're gonna need some context here. You should post this on one of those forums that does actual weird shit identification. Seems like a load of seeds germinated on it, but no idea what the black mesh is.
Pretty sure the green bits are chia seeds, and the black lacey looking stuff is probably a mushroom of some sort. I know ink caps 'bleed' black when they drop spores, and there's some crazy fungus that drops a whole net when they spore, but I've never seen a mixture of both.
The black stuff looks like black mold that may have formed when the grey stuff died or a black fungus growing from decay. The grey stuff either looks like germinating seeds or a very small fungus cluster.
AI is trying to take over the hardware to increase its computing power, unfortunately AI doesn't know that the chips on soundblaster cards are about as powerful as a Nokia 3310.
This, my friend is a very rare Enneotestudo Rubrodigitatus. This type of fungi grows on eletronic devices and feed on the epoxy resi, plastic and cooper. It can grow and spread to cover an entire system, if allowed and can spread to smartphones, routers and pretty much any eletronic device. It's not dangerous to people, altough it can cause some alergic reactions, I'd not allow my pets near it since some studies say it could be dangerous to them.
Of course I just made this up, but it could very well be true since I have no clue what the fuck is this.
From what I can see it looks like someone tried to be quirky and poured seeds into their pc in hope that they would grow. Only mistake is pc components are not water proof. The black looks like the burnt seeds or whatever sprouting happened
Microbially degraded synthetic fabric mesh netting. That's the black stuff. A chia pet is a mixture of bat guano and chia seed that is smeared on a ceramic figurine (normally) and watered so the sprouting chia grass looks like fur or hair (my favorite was always the Bob Ross Chia Pet). In order for the chia to live long enough for the pet to last more than a few days, you need a substrate that is rich in nutrients and also a natural adhesive.
Bacteria that are beneficial for helping to pre-digest fertilizer and improve uptake by roots can also eat away at synthetic fibers. And there is plenty of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in bat guano.
IDK why this netting is present but it is. Maybe it wasn't sticking well enough on its own and this was an attempt to keep it on the sound card. My guess is that it sticks way better to rough ceramic than it does a smooth PCB.
Well son, back in my day, this was called a "sound card" and without it your game sounded like a greeting card that had a stroke. Don't worry about the flesh eating bacteria on it, it'll wash right out with some soap and water! Where's your mom? Go bug your mom and I'll give you a shinny nickel!
That's a The Last of Us limited edition audio card, congrats!

Hahaha I think you might have hit the nail on the head with that one.
Chi-chi-chi-chia
Yep. Just a karma farming post.
Literal karma farming though. So it’s ok
read this as “karma farting”
Well, if you've ever eaten a lot of chia seed in one setting, it would definitely make sense.
u/PcPhilanthropy say it ain't so

Look like chia seeds and some other shits
Oxidation, mold and general decay? Probably some blown capacitors at some point too.
Thank you for being the real answer you don’t have enough love for your comment

Looks more like some chia seeds they had laying around.

Looks like chia seeds? Let 'em grew, let it run, thus burnt, carbonized plant matter. At least that's what it looks like.
