Thank you for reminding me that it's time to install xsnow again.
2022, 3.5GHz 6-core Intel Core i5: Nooo! This causes Firefox to use 50% of the CPU!
Please don't use this: it more than doubles CPU usage of Firefox.
Does it? It doesn't seem to affect mine at all. Edit: when the tab is focused it looks like it uses just under 4% of CPU in Firefox, and none when it's not focused. I don't know if that means 4% of total machine CPU or 4% of CPU that Firefox is using. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3fec6znlleulgt/2022-12-12T11-28-4...

It has been removed from web standards, but at least today it still works both in Chrome and Safari, I just tested. See for yourself: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ma...
Wow, I never even knew you could scroll upwards or both ways! Works on Firefox too. I tried adding but (thankfully) that didn't work. Blinking Marquees were a big thing.
To make it even more irritatingly attention grabbing while trying to read something else, layer the blink (or fade if being slightly more subtle) so it occasionally blinks brighter. Use the "Cicada Principle" to make the blink unpredictable with minimal effort.

Don't stop there! It will need tiny householders to shovel the snow off when the accumulation is too deep, and for a stretch goal the cascading snow can induce avalanches. With enough feature creep you'll be able to declare version 1.0 complete the same day you hear the first cuckoo of spring.
I wasn't planning quite that much, though I did consider some rules to try make the stuff pile with a little more realism than simple pixel stacking. And if elements vanished, having the accumulation on them re-fall instead of just disappearing (including partially if things shrunk) though that would need a modified model as settled snow would compact and have a higher terminal velocity…
I really like it, reminds me of old school internet. I prefer it with ASCII though, try it with an asterix (*) instead of a white orb for that 90's vibe. Just change this line: var embCSS = '.embedim-snow{position: absolute;width: 10px;height: 10px;margin-top:-10px}'; And this line: embHTML += ' * ';
I asked GPT what the source code does, was pretty impressed with the response >This code is a JavaScript program that creates a "snow" animation on a web page. When executed, the code generates a number of white, circular elements (which represent snowflakes) and animates them to move across the page, creating the illusion of snow falling. The snowflakes are given random positions, sizes, and animations to make the e…
What precisely did you enter into GPT? Just the raw source code, or other parts of the website? Which text did you use to ask it for a description? Can you try progressively removing parts of the source code to see what the minimal version is which makes GPT say that the code renders a snow effect?
