Show HN: MAXGIF, endless stupidly big GIFs

[nateberkopec]

My face when I saw this site: http://maxgif.com/13v

But seriously, great idea and super simple! Why didn't I think of this?! Great job OP.

Reminded me of http://neave.com/television/, just random "channel" switching but slightly longer scenes and with sound.

How is your site different, from say, YTMND (which also allows sound on top of GIFs), aside from being minimalistic and not having to log in to create? (though I think I answered my own question here)

I can feel my brain rotting with every click. This is extremely refined entertainment on the ADD, zero-commitment, fizzy side of the spectrum. And it's very addictive.

Does anyone know if these gif 'samples' from movies and TV shows fall under fair use? They seem so brief and low fidelity, surely they aren't infringing on copyrights?

Add one part http://whatshouldwecallme.tumblr.com/random and we're off to the races!

Great fun, but it's picked up some NSFW gifs. Can you add a filter or at least make NSFW opt-in like reddpics, scrolldit, etc.?

Buy the domain name satiate.me and have it play a new random gif every 3-5 seconds.

Shaking an iOS device while viewing in Safari brings up a random gif.

Yep, and if you add to your homescreen it will open as its own app with an icon and load screen.

Also, keyboard shortcuts for desktop: Next GIF (spacebar), Zoom Out (C).

What is it?

Whoops forgot to introduce it. Click (or hit spacebar) to see a random GIF fullscreen, keep clicking for more. You can directly link to any of the GIFs. These are all added by users, you add your own by simply dropping in a GIF URL on the homepage.
