Cute trick for fetch-and-add-based queues (outerproduct.net)

All I can focus on is this cute orange cat on the page


I tried to kill it with ublock and it's immune. I get distracted by pointless animations pretty easily but there's no way I can seriously read about the inner workings of cache lines while a cat is spazzing out on my screen. I already have one of those and it hates me.


I use keyboard to scroll so the cat fell asleep (still some animation though)

edit: the cat script does check your browser settings before activating! "prefers-reduced-motion" - I've not heard of this before.

Aha, that's probably why I was unable to find the cat everyone was talking about.

I have to say, while I do prefer reduced motion, I can enjoy some cats every now and then.


I want to have this feature on more websites.

Is there a quick ways to integrate this to existing sites? maybe some js I can include in index.html for websites I can control? maybe some bookmarklet to inject it into websites I don't control?
