lol it's unacceptable to use 🥞 as menu icon. Your designers / UX engineers must have tons of words to say about accessibility, semantic meaning, cross platform compatability. here is no tooltip indicating that this is an Easter egg from Stacked PR.

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw this. AI slop?

[damianjj123]

I am not a fan.

[damianjj123]

Mmm pancake slop keep it coming boys

[khaled-0]

[leomartins1999]

Opening a Severity-1 ticket immediately. Our SLA doesn't cover unprovoked pancake attacks.

Christ, just live a little; let Github announce that they've released Stacked Pull Requests with a delicious UI change

[DeanPoulin]

Looks like it was intentional for the release of Stacked pull requests 🥞

[Mohit-Pala]

Here's AI generated reasons:

son

[diquoks]

that's hilarious

[pagebrooks]

I thought something had been compromised when I saw this. It's not cute.

[jrosell]

Exactly.

[jrosell]

To those who "thumbs downed" me, you should know that too much sugar can compromise your health. :_)

[tiodan81]

take a deep breath

[TopProjectsCreator]

Chill....Its just a easter egg to help promote the introduction of stacked PR's.
"They’re basically treating it as a little Easter egg for the launch “stacked” PRs as a stack of pancakes"
Link:

[rollerozxa]

Honestly it would have been less confusing if upon hovering the icon it would say something to that regard as to why it suddenly changed to that. With GitHub's gradual degradation in quality all it makes it look like is their icon font malfunctioning.

[TopProjectsCreator]

Whats your take on stacked PR's?

[rollerozxa]

Why is there pancakes on my github????

Also surprised nobody has linked this yet

[kanashimia]

[fjij]

Completely unacceptable. Utter lack of professionalism. 🥞

[vytaux]

I was wondering why is there a goomba on my github.

[AlzAlz123]

It is just a stack of pancakes. What do you mean with unprofessional? It's maybe a daily easter egg. Not a big issue. 😂 (I liked it)

[onesneakymofo]

Mmmm, pancakes and eggs.

[onesneakymofo]

Down with the Waffle Lovers! Pancake Pals rise up!

[paul-wade]

Should be marked as the answer.

[debxylen]

here come the party poopers
its just a easter egg bro chill its not the end of the world
and what the fuck is it got to do with ai anyway

[AndresEspejoCr]

Love thissss a lot

[drumscript-admin]

AI finally consumes GitHub

[rfns]

Pancake jumpscare

[leonkozlowski]

I think this should be removed as soon as possible.

[leonkozlowski]

I prefer 🧇

[ataey]

The amount of discourse generated by a stack of pancakes is honestly impressive.

[d0nizam]

I love pancakes

[MainBranchSlayer]

Thank you

[eokuwwy]

I don’t care what it’s for. I like it and hope it sweeps across the industry. Down with the hamburger!

[d3finit]

This is amazing and so much better than a hamburger. Pancakes on top!!! I think a change like this is revolutionary and should be adopted everywhere. Will be adding to my personal projects soon.

[PancakeSupremacy]

Save the pancake icon!

[inventor7777]

You guys complain that there's no fun in tech anymore and then you immediately complain when anyone actually does anything fun.

I personally think it's a cool Easter egg!

[nathanl]

This was extra confusing for me because I just happened to have made a baked-goods related joke in my PR title when I first saw this. (My updated test examples had silly bakery names in them.) I was like - wait, is there AI parsing my PR titles now?
