@Gargron @agaric do people even know that mastodon has animated avatars

@gargron @agaric @jk wait, it does?!

@lifning @agaric @jk wait do people really not know this? you hover over an avatar for it to play...

@agaric @jk @gargron (try mine, for example)

@lifning @agaric @jk @Gargron
Oh, god. Now I have/get to try all the avatars.

@jk @agaric oh yeah early mastodon didn't have play-on-hover so the coyote was rotating all the time. constantly. even when you weren't looking

@Gargron @jk @agaric if a coyote registers on mastodon and noone is there is it still rotating

@Gargron @jk @agaric if the coyote rotates when nobody saw it, does it still exist?

@Gargron @jk @agaric Maybe the coyote is rotating even while we don't hover the avatar, we just can't see it

@Gargron @agaric ESPECIALLY when you werent looking

@jk @agaric actually this is canon. each time you hover, you can see the animation has progressed

@jk @Gargron @agaric like a watchful lighthouse.

@Gargron @jk @agaric

even when nobody loaded jk's profile

even when nobody had the image anywhere at all

even when all the machines were down

WHEN THE UNIVERSE ENDS, THE COYOTE WILL STILL BE ROTATING
