On a mobile phone it makes a lot more sense. Try shaking it!

It doesn’t in my case, I see some weird animation, everything disappears, “pour” button again. Shaking or any other movement doesn’t help. Latest chrome on iOS

The sand is pouring onto the phone screen so if your phone is tilted or upside down it looks illogical

It helps, if you lock orientation on the phone.

Whenever the phone detects an orientation change, it resets the layout.

I think it responds to tilting, not shaking?

I had that too on brave then realized that brave locks all permissions. It worked as expected in chrome

Maybe it’s too much for my iPhone 13 or something, I can see it but it’s all choppy and slow
