I remember they shipped a feature so that’s configurable.

You should be able to do something like this:

    "spinnerVerbs": {
      "mode": "replace",
      "verbs": ["Thinking"]
    }

Thank you for the config and the link, that's very much appreciated!

How absurd this is an option, but I’ll be using this config too.

I replaced my spinner verbs with thought-provoking Yodaese so my claude sessions are constantly making me think about my life decisions. Loving it. https://gist.github.com/topherhunt/b7fa7b915d6ee3a7998363d12...

As a counterview, I like the whimsical verbs. I'll be sticking with them. But nice to see there is an option.

I don't want my tools to make jokes, I want them to work.
