Behold, the digital butterfly effect in its purest form. Some user somewhere is happily hammering that shiny "Generate" button because "ooh, pretty animation!" Meanwhile, the entire backend infrastructure is having a nuclear meltdown.

This is why we can't have nice things. This is also why button debouncing exists, and why senior devs drink heavily.
