GIFstä

GIFstä is a term that refers to the practice of creating and sharing animated GIFs that are designed to be humorous, often using text or images that play on words, puns, or cultural references. The term is a portmanteau of "GIF" and "GIFs" (a reference to the file format used to create the animations). GIFstä gained popularity in the early 2010s as a way for users on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr to express themselves in a quick and visually engaging manner. The animations typically loop and are short, lasting only a few seconds, making them ideal for sharing on social media. GIFstä can be created using a variety of tools, including dedicated GIF-making software and online services, and they can be found in a wide range of styles and themes. Despite their simplicity, GIFstä have become a significant part of internet culture, with many users creating and sharing their own GIFstä and enjoying the ones created by others.
