That was the slowest loading gif of all time

Seriously. I can play BF3 with two tanks, a jet, a helicopter and seven soldiers all fucking up my shit on one screen and get away with low ping, yet I can't load a few frames of tiny picture in less than two minutes. How does this - why?

[–]spektre 9 points10 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You already have all the information to display the objects in BF3 locally, you only need the coordinates and velocity vectors and what not for the program to know what object to display and where to display it. This requires relativley low amounts of data to be transmitted.

On the other hand, to display a GIF where all the pixels shift from frame to frame, all pixel data needs to be transmitted, give or take a few (I don't have a lot of knowledge about GIF compression, but I don't think it has mechanisms to track background movement and such).

Edit: Also, multiplayer games often use UDP instead of TCP, which strips a lot of overhead data and gives larger throughput, as MajorVictory stated as a factor.

Edit 2: Even if the game lags, it's common for the engine to approximate player positions according to the last known velocity and such, so it still gives the feeling of smooth gameplay.

How come it worked for me with no problem? I didn't even click on it I moused over it and watched it. I have an old Pc too. Nothing up to date.

[–]spektre 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe you watched the thumbnail, a lot less pixels to transfer than the real image. How old your PC is doesn't matter, I'm sure it has enough power to display a GIF, the bottleneck is you internet connection, bandwidth and latency.

[–]MajorVictory 3 points4 points ago

i like how the time frames went by faster and replayed the gif before it was even done.

[–]UnboundChaos 0 points1 point ago

And that's when you Notice that it's not actually a gif, but a jpg. And you been staring at the same picture for the last 10 minutes.

I had to hold my breath, I was scared the horse would fall. Falling is not good for horses.

[–]Jackstick 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not too bad. Most falls can be treated with a shotgun.

[–]PretendsToKnowThings 1 point2 points ago

Eh, I tried that with my horse, but it just ended up with a broken leg and a bullet hole wound.

Well he probably didn't take kindly to you throwing semen at him. Especially monkey semen. That's just wrong, man.

Maybe you should double check next time because actually Semen-Thrower submitted later than me. It was just him who got to the front page faster. There are even some comments on the other link.

[–]GrayPenguin 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, my bad if you actually didn't know. But, the other was on the front page at the time, so it was reasonable that you would have seen it.

"pferd" is german for "horse", in case anyone was looking at the url.

I heard for horses falling and breaking legs could be really dangerous and life threatening. Is that true?

[–]Experts-say 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. Broken Leg = having to put it down. They just wont stand still for 6 weeks in a casket until their leg heals. They would put too much pressure on it all the time, effectively breaking it again and again. Its sad

[–]Twelvey 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not necessarily. There are a lot of bones in horse legs. Some can be fixed and some can't depending on severity and the owners bank accounts.

[–]Experts-say 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Let me rephrase... if the leg is BROKEN -as in bending in a direction its not meant to - the horse is deemed.

I've seen horses fall, breaking a leg = dead. Horses changing direction while standing in too deep of a mud pit, leg twists too far, broke = dead and horses breaking their legs from solely standing up in their stables and somehow putting too much pressure on their legs in a weird angle = dead.

If you think about 600 - 850 kg -normally on 4 of those tiny legs- putting all the pressure on just one in a weird angle you know why few of them die from age related causes

[–]Twelvey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Barbaro shattered his left hind canon bone into 20 pieces and it was able to be repaired. It was the laminitis in the right hind hoof (caused by the unequal dispersion of weight on the other legs) that hit him while in recovery that ultimately killed him. Not the broken leg itself. Whether a broken leg can be repaired often comes down to money and luck.

[–]Experts-say 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ok admittedly I don't know about million dollar horses. If you really had that kind of assets, you could probably screw the bones together and keep it tranquillized for several weeks until the leg has healed ... Though probably only very few horses qualify for that return on investment, even considering emotional value.

The subtle little flash of "HA-" before "oh FUCK" was genius.

A quarter inch of ice can fuck a horse up way faster than a shotgun.

[–]duartmac86 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously, we only ever had to put one horse down on our farm and it was because the horse slipped on some ice and broke its leg. Watching this made me cringe so badly, glad it walked away okay.

[–]FlakeMusic 3 points4 points ago

Anyone else notice the reaction of the horse in the background?

as a person who grew up on a farm, gifs with horses like this make me cringe. that's how a horse breaks a leg, and when a horse breaks a leg, that horse gets shot in the head.

There is almost nothing in racing that makes me cringe as much as when I see a horse go down. They just seem to be made of easily breakable legs and necks which go flailing every time.

Equine Drift.

[–]Kielo_Van 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I found this more cringe-worthy than anything. The fact of the matter is, that is highly dangerous and with that much ice in its field, the horse needs some kind of winter footwear or traction horseshoes: a fall could end in tragedy. Does have some humor but it makes me sick at heart to think of the danger this horse was in and the fact this could have ended terribly.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This. If he had felt, he would break at least some bones and would need to be euthanized.

[–]Kielo_Van 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Whoops, wrong reply. Anyway...agreed. The horse needs some traction shoes--if you own a horse, you owe it to them to do your best to protect them from harm.
