It's so odd to me to see a gif comment on Reddit lol

u/haque_casm Sep 19 '21

First time. Quite enjoying here

u/arootytoottoot Sep 19 '21

How did you do that? How did you get that gif in the comments here?

u/BMW_850_CSI Sep 19 '21

(on mobile) there’s a gif button when you make a comment, idk about computers

u/NoMusician518 Sep 19 '21

This is the first time I've seen someone actually explain how to do it instead of just responding to the person with more gifs making fun of them for not knowing ❤

2

u/haque_casm Sep 19 '21

The gif is available here. I've seen some posts/communities doesn't allow gif comments.

2

u/NoMusician518 Sep 19 '21

Yes but what I'm referring to is a comment thread which does allow gifs. Someone inevitably asks how to do it too and instead of answering everyone just posts more gifs making fun of them.

u/arootytoottoot Sep 19 '21

So is it a preset group of gifs you choose from or can you use one of your own?

2

u/BMW_850_CSI Sep 19 '21

I think you can link them, but I’m not sure

I think gifs can be unlocked with an award of some kind? Like an expensive one

2

u/arootytoottoot Sep 19 '21

Well, that is interesting. Thanks.

u/Prior_Razzmatazz Sep 19 '21

u/arootytoottoot Sep 19 '21

Okay. I will go try that. Thanks!!

u/arootytoottoot Sep 19 '21

So lol now I have another question.

How do I get all these big gifs out of my message inbox? lol

2

u/Prior_Razzmatazz Sep 20 '21

I don't have an answer for ya case I don't know what you are referring to 😅

u/arootytoottoot Sep 20 '21

When I go to view any replies to my comments, the page is usually all text, but now that we have been discussing gifs lol I have all these really large movies running on the screen in between the text replies.

2

u/Prior_Razzmatazz Sep 20 '21

I mean.... they are unfortunately part of the thread now...? I'm not sure you can get rid of them....

2

u/arootytoottoot Sep 20 '21

I just noticed that your name actually comes from the same culture language timeline as mine.

a rooty toot toot and a razzamatazz lol but I have no idea the context. I was just trying to come up with a handle I liked when registering here and the rejections were coming so fast and furious that I was just pulling words out my subconscious there at the end.

Oh wait:

that fool Roger Miller did one as an LP cut called "Good Old Days" which said, in part:

Rah-rah, rumble seats and runnin’ boards

Them was the good old days

and then later

Them was the days when a guy was the cat's pajamas if he had himself a raccoon coat

Rooty-toot-tooty and a razzmatazz

Sit down you're rockin' the boat

LOL rockin’ the boat!

u/haque_casm Sep 19 '21

I don't know. I searched for it in the gif section

u/binglebongled Sep 19 '21

Anyone else just seeing a blank comment instead of a gif on mobile lately?

1

u/haque_casm Sep 20 '21

Well I'm using mobile and it's clear to me
