This is one of my biggest gripes with AI generated code. People don't understand what they're committing and that's so dangerous. #ffconf with @jesslynnrose.bsky.social & @edaeren.bsky.social

We can also have a nice entry animation by adding the following code:
```
img {
transition: 1s 1s;
@starting-style {
offset: circle(0px) 0% 0deg;
}
}
```
Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/full/... via @codepen.io
