Right frame isn't loading properly when it progresses to the next one for me (on Chrome), so I get a kitten or a black screen. Pretty easy choice.
It sometimes takes a while for the photo on the right to load, but eventually they do (at least for me, i'm on Opera)
One problem. The kittens are loading much faster than the other images. This might be skewing the results.
while it's a wonderful idea and I love it, it has one problem. No matter your work, you can't beat kittens.

And also the work images sometime don't load.

Unless your work incorporates multiple kittens. Moar kittens > One little cat

I think that's the joke.

Good idea, but ideally it should use machine learning to try to show as interesting stuff as possible to each user, based on results of earlier answers. I.e., if I choose the non-kitten, show me something (statistically) related to that.

(Not sure what goes on behind the scenes, but it did feel very random and not very adaptive to my previous decisions)

Caution, NSFW content.
Which also happened to be the only work that is better than kittens, go figure...
Maybe this could be transitioned to some sort of live split testing platform or something...otherwise, I don't see much value to it other than show-and-tell.
Highly allergic to cats, of all ages and sizes. Regardless of my work, it will always be better than kittens.
I'm confused on how to vote. Intuitively I think I click on whichever I think is better. But when I hover over the the non-kitten, it gives me a weird message like "Get Real", "Are You Blind?", "Not Now, Not Ever", and "Not Likely". Which kind of leads me to think that I'm voting for the kitten even when clicking on the non-kitten?
I've clicked a few, and I still don't get which way I'm voting. Dumb user or bad UI?
Huh. Definitely wasn't expecting porn to show up when clicking this link...
I wasn't expecting it to show when I posted it either. It was mostly people's work. I've seen it posted on quite a few places, so I'm guessing the surge of posts and lack of (or insufficient) moderation did their thing.
Someone uploaded a puppy as the constrast vs kitten.
Love the concept. But the descriptions like "Oh, come on!" or "Are you sure?" are confusing. And actually pushing people too much towards joking.
