Went to check out Sploid a little while ago, and found this.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has been working on cutting down load times, and have had some success with most of the sites. One of the things they have implemented was:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Freezing animated GIFs (pronounced "Gifs", with a hard "G"). Some sites, like Sploid, love to put GIFs all over the place, and these things add up (and even crash mobile browsers). Animated GIFs on mobile are now click-to-play, and on desktop they only play once scrolled to.

Can't say I'm heartbroken, it just takes some of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! out of my day....

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Your ISO is a dick, and so is your webfilter.

This is also why I have a .gov connection and a Xfinity connection at my desk.

I'm already over it. I can still surf to GoPro's YouTube channel to keep up with that Sploid is posting..

Now if Jaloppo goes? Then I have to start getting creative.

THIS is NOT a Gif. Or is it?

Slightly off topic, but:

Incorrect. It is pronounced "jif". Not a hard G.

That's debatable, and will continue to be.

I don't care which one is right, as long as we all can agree on it (or as long as I choose the one that fewer people will care to correct)

Shit, I call the 70s and 80s synths "moooooog" when it's actually pronounced "mogue" because it's more fun to say.

Yeah, not really debatable:

LOL, don't tell me! I'm not the one correcting people.

Sorry. It's just the guy that invented the gif came and said himself how its pronounced (jif), so I figure, that's how, right?

Or maybe Jesus finally got the last laugh?
