How the belgium do you get it this wrong?
MORE INFO:
It looks like the issue comes from the sever attempting to onebox the /t/1k posts. It looks like there's a serious performance problem (shocker) and it bites the server hard when oneboxing from /t/1k.
It may be related to having multiple oneboxed posts?

Welp, guess I'll head on over to meta to tell them they've got a performance problem...... Oh wait...
