    There's usually never just one Giphy batch. Once one starts, there's usually more coming after that.

    I wish they would just post a giant batch and stop taking these 5 minute breaks between them.

    Maybe they're being killed by hundreds of turkers faster than their servers can upload them.

    I was going to argue that their servers should be able to handle it, then I went to their website and saw that it was a shitstorm of insanely slow gifs, so you might be right.

    And combine it with Amazon on the turking side with however they process things and hundreds or thousands of turkers refreshing their pandas and it's a recipe for annoyance. Maybe. I don't know how those things work, but I blame Amazon for something.

    I keep wanting to watch handball, but the chat rooms are filled with everybody talking about Phelps and not telling me how to stream this sport that America doesn't care about.
