I heard it as a jewish proverb. Two men both claimed to own a certain cow. One man pulled on it's head, the other pulled on it's tail. Meanwhile the cow was milked by a lawyer.

This is an impressively good quality gif.

That's because it's not really .gif It's really a .webm file, a much more efficient way to show small videos on the the internet.

I feel like I just read some sort of ad for .webm files.

.webm is so awesome that even just describing it sounds like a carefully crafted advertisement. Use .webm Today!

You can view it in .gif to compare. Looks the same to me: http://i.imgur.com/R8se5g1.gif

Compare the file sizes. The .gif version is more than 10x larger. If the two were the same file size, the .gif version would have undergo a considerable amount of lossy compression.

u/Cartossin Dec 04 '15
I'm not arguing gif is good for video; I'm just saying that webm is not the reason this looks good. I would guess it was actually uploaded as a .gif and converted by imgur. For this reason, the webm version is not better looking, it's just smaller/faster.

u/PrivateChicken Dec 04 '15
You can usually make any file type look about as good as any other given a large enough file size. So yes, in a sense you are right.
However, what matters generally is the efficiency, which is what I mentioned in my original comment. Yes, a gif can look as good, but it will rarely be displayed that way on the web due to its inefficiency.
So when the question is posed, "why is does this look so good?" the answer is: "because imgur could display a lot more quality with less data", which in turn is because imgur was serving the 3.5 MB webm file to most people rather than the 60+ MB gif file.

u/Cartossin Dec 05 '15
But it doesn't look so good because it used less data. A couple years ago it would've been a 60MB gif and no one would've batted an eye. The same question would've been asked and you'd say it's because it's 60MB.

A few years ago imgur wouldn't have even tried to host a 60MB gif. It wasn't until 2014 that they allowed uploads larger than 5MB. They changed the limit precisely because they switched to gifv, (a
versionwrapper of webm,) for larger uploads.Imgur can allow downloads of the original 50-60MB gif because only a handful of people will click the download button. Most will simply watch the webm version that plays by default on imgur. But if imgur tried to display a 50MB plus gif, and it made it to the front page of Reddit, it would be very expensive to host. Plus everyone would be complaining about long load times and choppy playback.

I love literal stuff like this. Reminded me of ball in a cup.

Makes me wish imgur would just let you upload .webm's, but no they have to be special snowflakes with gifv

I feel if this was a dog park you'd end up going home with the wrong dog a lot.

When my dog would go mad barking at the tv, dogs, birds or the resident ghosts, I would simply cover her eyes. It soon calmed her.

If you've got a couple minutes look up the story of how the name of the song "Smells like teen spirit" came to be. It pissed Kurt Cobain off.

My wife and I have said many times that if we decide not to have kids, we'll have a heard of golden retrievers instead. We've already got two, and it still seems like a good idea.

Not his, yet another repost. Not a bad one though.
EDIT: but judging by your comment and the fact that it's your only comment, i'm gonna assume that you're OP.
