Let’s address the elephant in the room. Is it safe to play with Google Gravity Lava on your work computer?
Technically, yes. It is just JavaScript and WebGL. It will not install viruses or steal data. However, administrators may see it as a distraction. Additionally, some "Lava Gravity" clones contain intrusive ads. Stick to the official Mr. Doob site or the elgoog.im mirror (which is dedicated to preserving Google Easter eggs).

Pro tip: If you open the experiment and your fan turns on, close it. While Mr. Doob writes efficient code, WebGL lava simulations can be intensive on older laptops. Let’s address the elephant in the room
