[math-fun] This GIF Takes 1,000 Years To Loop

Don't try this at home, millenials: https://www.fastcodesign.com/3051444/yes-this-gif-takes-1000-years-to-loop GIFs are designed to loop short clips­-generally a couple seconds long­-over and over until you close your browser window. But As Long As Possible is a different kind of GIF; one rendered on a geologic time scale. Created by Helsinki-based artists Juha van Ingen and Janne Särkelä, it's designed to loop only once every thousand years. "the finished GIF is over 12 gigabytes" (it probably won't work on your 32-bit browser). "made of 48,140,288 numbered frames, that change about every 10 minutes."
