Why is this a gif???
Why not gif? It’s basically a universal format. The file size is reasonable. And gif is lossless if you stay within a limited color palette, which this comic does.
For one, I can’t zoom in on my phone.
Nor can I but I think that’s the fault of the app I’m using rather than it being a GIF.

True, it even has “interchange” in the name!
CompuServe encouraged the adoption of GIF by providing downloadable conversion utilities for many computers. By December 1987, for example, an Apple IIGS user could view pictures created on an Atari ST or Commodore 64.
Can’t zoom in bc your stupid meme is a 0 second gif. Downvoted for not being able to read such small text.
Which Lemmy client?
So you can shit on me, as if it was my fault somehow and not that OP couldn’t post a picture as a picture format? Yeah no. I saw what happened in the other comments on this post that said something similar to me. Downvote city.

No, I’m genuinely curious about the different clients we, the Lemmy community, have available. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses helps people make informed choices.

GIF is a picture format. It may contain multiple frames or it may not but it is a perfectly standard pallet based image format that has been around for 37 years (for comparison its older than zip or PDF). This is not the same as linking to a 1 second YouTube video.
My current client (Boost) is also treating it as unzoomable, but that is clearly a defect in my client. Even if it was an animation I would want to be able to zoom. Its something to raise with the developer.
In the meantime I just opened the link in my browser:

The craziest thing to me are the places that have steadily raised the percentages for the default buttons. It’s a percentage, it already accounts for inflation automatically 😑
I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It’s not difficult.
What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.
I’m sorry, you tell me what fucking service I’m tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No…pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.
