anyone knows the how and why blocks get orphaned?

When a miner successfully mines a block they usually immediately publish it to the rest of the network. However if they choose not to publish then they can then begin work on mining the next block with a head start while the rest of the network is still working on the previous block. This strategy has been called selfish mining. The longer they withhold publishing their blocks the more their chain will diverge from the rest of the network. If their chain is longer and they choose to publish their blocks all at once later on then the blocks mined by the rest of the network in the meantime will get orphaned because network consensus is determined by whichever chain is longest. The more hashrate the selfish miner has the more feasible this kind of disruption is.
 
What's going on bros? :stress:

Well bros, I’ve been eyeing this thread for a while, Ive messed with ETH a lot over the years but I finally took the monero plunge and made my first buy. I might try to mine in a spare basement room. We have a ton of space. I might look to get solar panels at some point to ease the cost.

Really unusual spikes going on. I do wonder what is happening in the background.

It's unfortunately not a Monero thing, it's the market reacting to the abnormal activity that happened with Zec. The price for Zcash is obviously manipulated from the inside, but then the market reacted by taking interest in privacy coins, that's why all "privacy coins" are up (most of them are not private) while the market as a whole is down.
People are hoping to be safe from the market dip by hiding/hedging in privacy coins.

I expect Monero to go back down at least 50% from what it gained. It's short term investor money that made the price go up, they'll go away soon.

Yeah after the Qubic selfish mining got too expensive, this super totally grassroots real interest in privacy coin zcash takes hold! Big polymarket bet on the marketcaps and everything !

would be nice if we have a new higher floor of 350-400 but I see it going back down to the $250-350 range like usual

Didn't take too long. Now that the market is recovering investors are exiting the safety of privacy coins and going back to regular programming.
