GIFS DICKLESS
Do you guys know of a way to compress GIFs? You dickless assholes? None of the online websites that claim to do it actually do it, at least not with the 55MB GIF I have here.

Re: GIFS DICKLESS
Convert it to animated webp with lossy compression (so it's kinda like animated JPG.) Much smaller. On linux, I do this with the gif2webp tool, which comes with the webp package.
For maximum compression, use the "-lossy -min_size -m 6" options. To speed it up a bit, use "-mt" (for multithreading):
gif2webp -lossy -min_size -m 6 -mt animation.gif -o animation.webp
Here's an example. The GIF was 1.1MB. The resulting webp animation is 228kb:
Ah well, can't attach it to this post. Forum says "Invalid file extension: animation.webp"
Edit: uploaded it somewhere else:

Thank you. This man won his penis back.
/reaches into a bin and pulls out a vaguely color matched schlong
I never saw the value in webp, I assumed it was some dumb ad nonsense spyware of Google's. I'll see if I can mod the BBS to support it properly. Thanks, RealNC!
