Show HN: This is what happens when you VNC into the machine you are VNCing from

Last night I was testing that I could VNC into my home machine remotely. I used the external URL to VNC into my machine using the built-in Mac OS X screen sharing tool, and within seconds my machine was spawning VNC window after VNC window

I had to snap the pic with my phone since the resources on the machine were quickly used up.

I was wondering if I would be sucked into the digital vortex it was creating and then have to start racing my processes on really cool motorcycles but that didn't happen

I thought it was cool so I thought I would share.

I always thought it would have been a funny easter egg to have VNC simply mirror the screen. So it appears that you're looking out from the monitor...
