Hey, do you want to see things spinning? Sometimes lots of things? Sometimes a few things? Sometimes in orbit! Look no further! Click things to make them bigger! Keep clicking to add them to your Spinventory and get a fresh set of Spinning Things!

You can bookmark a particular selection of spinners by keeping the "seed" in the URL, e.g.
cats + pancake
massive tart
all kiwis, all the time

Hmm, I thought the above links would show specific spinners but while they do for me, other people report seeing different spinners (i.e. cats + pancake shows planets).

As a web developer of over 20 years, I must say that CSS animations are among the niftiest advances I have seen. I recently employed a CSS rotation animation like these to depict a convincing spinning LP, and it's so buttery smooth compared to Javascript alternatives.

This is strangely tranquil. I have just played for about five minutes and I feel... calm. Also, I am gently rotating.
