Bizarre text character swaps

[Beth]

This morning, GR has started displaying seemingly-random alternate characters in my feed on Chrome. It's rendering the site not unreadable on that browser, per se, but it's definitely bad enough to slow things down. I've checked Edge and it looks normal. That's good, I guess, because I would almost feel like I was hallucinating, if it weren't for the weird characters staying consistent.

I don't have access to posting pictures where I am now, otherwise I'd show an example.

Exciting! Do they spell an alternate message? Did you check to see if you slipped into an alternate universe and your alternate self is trying to signal something (for the record, not exactly sure how you check that)?

Were you hoping I was more serious about this question?

All I get is the "Goodreads is out of capacity" message when the page fails to load after a minute. Friggin' potato servers.

On a serious note - I'm using Firefox, and I had no issues with text so far.
