I do this several times a day. Simons law: By the time you have found the response gif you were looking for the funny side of what you were going to post has diminished somewhat and you just close your social media app instead with a small amount of relief that you didn’t reply.

Social media is okay. Teams, whatsApp are bad because when you’re in the process of selecting a GIF, they notify people that you’re typing something 😭 People have called me out for typing for like 10 mins straight.

🤣👍

... or you check the comments and nine other people have posted that GIF already.

Oh yes - that’s a complete downer!

The GIF search rabbit hole has saved me from more questionable late-night replies than I'd like to admit — turns out friction is an underrated filter.
