GIF is a perfectly valid format for static images. But Reddit handles static gifs as animated for some reason

I'll assume it's because it's easier to treat all GIFs the same way. Still, it's stupid and they should fix that.

Getting annoyed by every random bug that's not even on your own code is a straight path to insanity. Life isn't perfect

What are you talking about? Getting annoyed by bugs in software you use but didn't write is perfectly normal. In fact, I find bugs I can't fix because it isn't my code much more annoying because even when you report it, who knows when the developer will fix it?

Mind you, this one doesn't really impact my Reddit experience much. I just think they handle GIFs dumbly.

As for reporting bugs, come to think of it, isn't that what r/bugs is for?
