When you're on a website or an app, you look at something (a post, or a part of a UI), and your brain just starts calculating how this was made in your own language.

Like brain, stop, I'm tired, I don't need the calculations right now.

100% and if it's a website I'll likely lose a few hours digging around to see how it's done.

For me it's just the brain doing unnecessary calculations to see how this ui element was made. Why unnecessary? because when it calculates, it's the time after work where it starts calculating, like brain, you're tired, stop it.
