And I can sometimes think like, "Okay, person. I use zoom on my phone, so I'll try to zoom in on it to figure out what it is. So what is that experience like for you when you're on the receiving end of the GIF? It always frustrates me how quickly sometimes people are to respond via text message with the GIFs, I'm like, "Where did you find that? How did you get that so quickly? And what is it? I can't really tell it's small and pixelated." Your friend can text you a GIF, as a reaction to something you said, we're communicating with these moving images. They can be responses on Twitter, they can be. But yeah, GIFs, these are just flying around the internet. So they're designed for that format, and maybe even get funnier the more times you watch it in a row, that's kind of how GIFs work in an amazing way. It could also be just a short video clip, and they're often played on a continuous loop. Yeah, moving images is a good way to describe it. How would you describe them for someone who's never seen a GIF before? And now of course, we've seen the video memes and we've seen some departure from the standard image, but GIFs are moving images. So by definition, a meme is not necessarily an image, it can be something else. And then of course, those memes or those ideas are copied and spread rapidly on the internet. So the definition of a meme is actually just simply a concept or idea that gets passed from one person to another person, especially by some sort of invitation that's happening. Yeah, let's head this one off at the pass. What's going on here? What are you guys putting us through?" So Caroline, what's the deal? Why do we have an episode today dedicated to GIFs? And I think before we get to the memes, we have to clear up some confusion, because as soon as we start talking about GIFs, people are going to protest and say, "GIFs aren't memes. We've got a whole new type of episode today. And everyone should definitely go check out the Disability Film Challenge films, the Dogumentory, and Social Fitness. And she brought her vocal stylings to the episode and her voices. How fun was it to have Bree Klauser on there? And I'm joined today, as I am every Monday by my cohost, Caroline from Scribely. You're listening to Say My Meme, the podcast that describes the internet's best memes for those of us who can't see them.
