The world is full of some pretty amazing things, and if you can capture them in the infinite looping image format that is a GIF, then that makes them all the better. 

Thanks to the internet, we have discovered many great things that have changed our lives forever. Social media, video calls, all the futuristic stuff that we had been promised back in the sci-fi movies of the mid-20th century. One thing we've also discovered is that if you make a GIF just right, then you will be hypnotised by it for hours on end. Here are just a few of those that may captivate you for the next while, or send you down a Google black hole from which there is no escape. Enjoy!
