It is wild that amidst all these platform stability issues, GH has decided now is the time to do cutesy marketing for a new feature
I tried anonymous browsing + secondary account + different computer and I still see it:

Why so much hate.
I think this is brilliant way to announce new features!
It is playful, it is nice, it is something new. Don't take it too seriously.
How in the world was I supposed to find out that it was a feature announcement without searching new Hacker News posts?
Imagine being a new GitHub user and you're trying to find the menu. Realizing that you have to click on a bunch of pancakes to get where you need to go would be pretty annoying.
It's probably to advertise the Stacked PRs feature: https://github.github.com/gh-stack
Not cute..I thought something had been compromised when I initially saw it.
Me too, I got paranoid. That's why I checked many envs, phewww.
yeah was prepping to spend a lot of the day waiting for bigger attacks on other systems
I created a new account there and have the same thing.
There are some posts about it on /r/github
Yes, logged in on GitHub in the Netherlands
yes i see the pancakes haha. The future is now
The AI was hungry
Yes
TF ... got it as well .
What a time to be alive
