no one has ever surpassed the animated netscape logo's ability to make the internet feel majestic and awe inspiring

I remember how some early-ish #Linux kernel versions updated the struct timeval with the time remaining, in the select() call. This caused the Netscape logo to spin really fast, at 100% CPU, since it was relying on the select() call to preserve the timeout value, making it unnecessary to reinitialize it on every call.
