We study the viscous Burgers equation with a family of initial data having infinite mass. After rescaling, the solution converges toward a bounded discontinuous profile in the long-time limit. Moreover, by changing the scale near the discontinuity point again, we find a new profile that is also discontinuous. This process can be repeated an arbitrary number of times.
