Did anybody else find the changing tab title annoying?

Pretty sure the author did it as a troll, in which case it's great, I hate it.

I thought it was neat and wasn't really bothered. Though I'm not really sure what it's supposed to depict

What comes to mind to me is a sandworm coming out of the ground, and pulling something back down underneath with it.

It was interesting to see the update rate of background tabs.

But.. why? Am I out of touch to not see the humor here? Annoying the people who you intend to read your posts?

I miss the days of quirky title bar "animations".
