I used to have a printout of https://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot-snakes/index.html over my desk. People got so freaked out by a piece of paper "moving" that there were people who literally refused to go to my desk. :-)

Akiyoshi's site [0] has been serving mindwarp since .. forever? (says since 2002) That's gotta be hand wrought html - dig the hitcounter!

I used to have some of these tiled on my desktop so that in true BOFH style when someone came to pester me I could click show desktop and they would forget what they came to bother me about.

I'm not clicking the link, but I'm assuming it's "rotating snakes". If other people are like me, they may have avoided it because it literally nauseates them.

It is. I've never heard of that reaction.

People just being freaked out was fine with me. Making them actually sick would not have been.

In all seriousness I dont think that the illusion works when under the influence. Which is very interesting.
