Ten minute long GIF?

FFS I'm so done with this crap

How do you know it is 10 mins? I don't dare to check it myself.

It was just to say "this lasts so long there's no justification for it being a GIF".

A GIF should be 5 seconds tops and be showing content you never may want to pause. How can I check the exact moment the person falls in the flood, if I can't pause?

That's my rule of thumb but over the years reddit somehow became fond of GIFs where it doesn't make any effing sense, let's stop the madness.

I included a YouTube link as well. It's only 60 seconds.

This is the longest gif I have ever seen.

You must not have been on reddit, eh?

Some say she's still floating down a muddy river somewhere downstream even today.

You know, if that had more than six different colours and 5 pixels per frame, I'd have been ok with it.

In a white jacket of all things!

This seems fun.
