gollark: I mean, the show actually just focuses on our text conversations with you via Discord.
gollark: It's only used because it supports animations, poorly, and was before other formats like APNG in doing so and thus more supported.
gollark: But GIF is *meant* as one. People use it a lot.
gollark: If evaluated as an image format my mother would *not* do well.
