My attempt at creating a meme last week...

Geordi La Forge Meme: a black man wearing a Star Trek uniform with long goggles (that have the text CSS added to them for the meme). First, he has a hand out like asking to stop, next to the CSS code z-index: infinity. Below, he is half smiling and pointing in acceptance to the CSS code z-index:calc(infinity * 1)

Did you know that there is a maximum z-index value? For example a 10 digit 9 value (9999999999) is not possible, the maximum possible z-index is 2147483647. So if you have an item with z-index: 9999999999 and another with infinity, technically they both would be 2147483647 and the winner would be the one who is placed after the other in the HTML.

Because CSS doesn't allow to use the math constants outside of math functions... Which makes total sense.

Also, it would work with just calc(infinity). I don't know why I added the * 1. Out of habit maybe.

I've recently started using custom properties for z-indices to simulate a kind of "named layers" and I don't think I'll ever go back to keeping the funny numbers in sync.

Today's comiCSS cartoon:

cartoon with a list titled 'How to stay on top of things': 1. make a list (striked through); 2. track your time; 3. time box your tasks; 4. more difficult tasks first; 5. take breaks; 6. focus, don't multitask; 7. z-index: 4 (striked through); 8. z-index: 9999 (striked through); 9. z-index: 99999999 (striked through); 10. z-index: max(infinity)

Even better.
Deleting other people's code completely because you’ve done it with two lines of code 🫣

Even better.
The "other people" is just you from a month ago and there was no reason not to do it the simple way back then other than you just didn't see it at the time.

Happens every time.

Any code I haven't touched in 15 minutes might as well be somebody else's!

What it does effectively is disallow obtaining a reference to the field, thus preventing idiotic side effects.
