It is my somber duty to inform you that The Snap has reached Google.

On Wednesday, Google Search rolled out a surprise Thanos-inspired Easter egg for Marvel fans eagerly awaiting the Friday premiere of Avengers: Endgame.

Users looking up "Thanos" on desktop or mobile web will be met with an Infinity Gauntlet in the top right corner of the Thanos information box that, when clicked/tapped, will cut the available search results — wait for it — in half.

You can watch as various search results get dusted, leaving behind trails of untethered pixels.

To top it off, you'll watch the ~88,000,000 result count tick down to a measly 44,000,000. (No word yet on how exactly the search results are whittled down, but it seems to be random — exactly like the real Snap.)

Click the Infinity Guantlet icon again, however, and your search results will return victorious.

Yes, it's a joke that's been done to death since the release of Infinity War last year, but with some kind of a solution hitting theaters in just a few days (fingers crossed!) it can't hurt to enjoy it a few more times.

Avengers: Endgame hits theaters Friday.
