The good folk of Twitter seem to be committed to one serious cause today - throwing one hell of a GIF Party. What is a GIF Party? We hear you cry. Well it's a party for GIFs silly!
We don't understand this madness either, we don't know why it's happening, who started it*, or how it's become the number one trending topic worldwide and number two in Ireland.
But it's here, and we're damn well going to join in.
*Update: Twitter started it... the messers.
It's to celebrate the launch of GIF search on Twitter, meaning that whenever you’re composing a Tweet or Direct Message, you can search and browse the GIF library.
Drop your plans for today, we're celebrating GIFs on Twitter! Tap the GIF button to join the #GIFparty. pic.twitter.com/5gTEeB1uWH
