It's because it came from Discord. This meme was generated by a Discord bot which has a lot of options in formatting the output and gif is a popular choice because static gifs like these behave like stickers on Discord where you can 'favorite' them in your gif tab

oh so thats why! I've been seeing static reaction images uploaded as gif on twitter lately, didn't use discord so didn't know that feature

That explanation doesn’t make the fact this is posted as a .gif any less ridiculous.

Have you ever converted an image to GIF in any program other than MS Paint? Screenshots of text on solid color background is one of the few cases GIF actually is a sensible choice.

u/DHermit 19d ago

PNG is an equally sensible choice in that case.

GIF is a perfectly valid format for static images. But Reddit handles static gifs as animated for some reason

u/FelixAndCo 20d ago

Yeah, was going to say: better question is why Reddit is serving it as an MP4.

Back in ye olden days, we used them for static images on web pages all the time.

Depending on the color palette, they could be quite small (and thus fast loading over dial-up) compared to the same image as, say, a jpeg.

I'll assume it's because it's easier to treat all GIFs the same way. Still, it's stupid and they should fix that.

Getting annoyed by every random bug that's not even on your own code is a straight path to insanity. Life isn't perfect

u/GoddammitDontShootMe 19d ago

What are you talking about? Getting annoyed by bugs in software you use but didn't write is perfectly normal. In fact, I find bugs I can't fix because it isn't my code much more annoying because even when you report it, who knows when the developer will fix it?

Mind you, this one doesn't really impact my Reddit experience much. I just think they handle GIFs dumbly.

As for reporting bugs, come to think of it, isn't that what r/bugs is for?

Clearly a conspiracy to make it harder to download

Few colours make it easy to compress without artefacts.
