it's amazing how much shit on the internet is now content to use animations to "remove" elements, so if you disable those... nothing happens. tweetdeck's in-page notifications were like that, they'd just never vanish because they were animated to slide offscreen.
for a long time tweetdeck's unread message indicators for dms would stay lit up but show "0" because (surprise) those were animated away, too, rather than just... being removed.
animations are largely obnoxious and there is no good way of telling people "no, i do not want your garbage flashy animation, just give me the god damn thing i asked for". woe be you if you need to disable animations for health reasons
what was it, wordpress? where if you put in an invalid login it'd fucking *shake the login box at you* like a goddamn soda can in a paint shaker
