Well done, you got me!

The timing was impeccable, it was right as I was finishing reading the last box.

Rhaedas@fedia.io · 61 pts · 70d

Well timed. Got to the end text, had a half second of "wait..."

FollyDolly@lemmy.world · 46 pts · 69d

Omg the timing was perfect. 10/10

As we’re still doing rick rolls, I think it’s appropriate to dust off the old ‘wins the internet’ award and hand it over. Congratulations!

Wins the internet but lost The Game.

The client i use sometimes does not animate gif images. I though this was the case until read the bottom text

Chronographs@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 70d (2 replies)

My client puts a play button in the middle of the image so it was pretty obvious

bottleofchips@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 69d

Same here, I still pressed it and it still got me with perfect timing

gegil@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 69d

I mean that the client puts the play icon as it recognises image as gif, but does not animate it sometimes, and shows only the first frame.

Comedic assault of the first degree

This is one of the best trolls I’ve ever seen; huge respect.

Seriously?

Jokes on you! My lemmy client doesn't work with gifs!

davidgro@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 69d (1 reply)

Boost?

Worked when I actually tapped the image to open it, but not on the feed page.

owsei@programming.dev · 2 pts · 69d

connect. I love it very much but gifs only load the correct frame when I click the image and stay with that :(

I've been pranked several times with a link to this video, pretending to be something else.

albbi@piefed.ca · 10 pts · 69d (1 reply)

Wait, really? This same video? That's so weird.

OpenStars@piefed.social · 2 pts · 66d

Surely you jest, why would someone play pranks on the internet!?1?!?

CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de · 8 pts · 69d

I just sew a patch on my battle vest with a qr code of the YT link, it's gonna meet people today for the first time. I'm excited to see how many I can rickroll.

My trusty poem has failed me. xCq, link stays blue!

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 69d

xCq, don't mind if I do!

You can use separate urls for the image and the thumbnail when posting.
In this post, the rickroll shows up in the thumbnail already.
