Blows my mind that my computer isn't even turning on its fans considering how many shaders are running in this thing.

I think they pause when they scroll out of view?
They’re simple shaders and it’s amazing what a computer can do billions of times per second.
Yeah, I mean come on, we're not rendering something hard and expensive to compute, like a React website that has to list items in a shopping cart.
Personally all the fluid simulation shaders I've written usually makes my fan go off, and I'm counting a few of those here so that's impressive in my eyes.

I'm on Ubuntu and Edge (v122.0.2365.59) could barely render the page. Chrome (v122.0.6261.94) worked just fine, though. I don't know enough about browsers and GPUs to debug why that is, but I checked (edge|chrome)://gpu and nothing stood out as appreciably different.
Edit: interestingly, it seems to only be the first animation. If I scroll it out of view the others all seem to render fine.
