        in case you didn’t know: the animated icon (usually the cursor) that indicates background processing is called a throbber.

          Normal people say hourglass yeah even when it’s not a hourglass yeah even when they design them yeah even when they can be confused and the reason is not that throbber would be a useful word, it’s that it’s extremely sexual and now I get to feel sexual too for saying it back and have to take a shower
