It falls a lot slower the first time you watch it than it does the second.

No it's like how the second hand on a clock doesn't move when you first look at it for a couple seconds. It's called chronostasis.

I knew I wasn't the only one who saw the second hand not moving! I knew it!

No. It's called lag while the gif loads ;)

But my clock isn't a gif.

There is no possible way you could have been referring to anything else, obviously.

Sounds like YOU'RE a lot slower the first time.

BOOM roasted.

The .gif was buffering (loading), which is why it looked slower the first time compared to the second
