We all know GIFs are images set in a motion loop, but many of these moving images have a short story to tell, and we can somewhat tell that there is an “end” at a certain point before it loops back to the start of the sequence.
This series of GIF images we found today, however, simply goes on and on… for an eternity and beyond. We can’t tell how it starts or how it ends as there is no particular message or story, and the image transitions are simply flawless. If you’re the type of person who prefers to spend your weekend doing nothing in particular and spacing out, these hypnotic moving images could possibly keep you occupied for hours!
Whoever made these images did a great job at making my lazy weekend even less constructive than before. There is probably no particular meaning behind these never-ending GIFs (or perhaps they harbor messages hidden so deeply we couldn’t decipher them), but they are quite a pleasure to watch, aren’t they?
