Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Even harder mode: a film from before 1970 that you can find a gif of

Parody of the old "you wouldn't steal a car" adverts used to deter video piracy. The text reads "You wouldn't tariff a movie"

One of my current favourite t-shirts 🙂
Photograph of a grey-coloured t-shirt hanging on a wooden coat hanger. The design on the front of the t-shirt shows a cartoon illustration of an owl, eyes half-closed and holding a steaming mug with one wing (somehow!). A caption above the owl reads "I Just need coffee and silence"

Here's a fun one on here... start typing a post, then decide you don't want to post it after all, so you press the "Cancel" button top left... Then you decide you did want to post it after all, but the two buttons presented to you are "Cancel" and "Discard". Am I cancelling the cancel or not? 🤔
A screenshot from the Bluesky web page, showing a confirm dialogue which has the heading "Discard draft?" followed by the message "Are you sure you'd like to discard this draft?" and two buttons, one labelled "Cancel" and the other labelled "Discard"

That feeling when you were on an 83 streak and realise you forgot to do Wordle yesterday... 😱
Starting screen on Wordle. A colourful representation of the Wordle grid (a grid of coloured squares) is followed by the title "Wordle" and the text "Get 6 chances to guess a 5-letter word", and then two buttons (one I think is for subscription options, and has the label "Save up to 75%", the second is labelled "Play"). It then says "June 28, 2025. Number 1470. Edited by Tracy Bennett". This is the screen you see when you are starting Wordle from scratch

#Jaws50
Photograph of a poster on an exterior wall. The poster is in the style of the movie poster for the film "Jaws", showing blue sea, with a large shark swimming upwards. Where the swimmer was on the original poster, there is instead a stack of pancakes. Red text at the top of the poster, in a similar font to the original, says "PANCAKES"

Still from the 1980s film Wargames. Inside NORAD, a busy place full of people. Tension is heightened. Dr Stephen Falken is at the front of the scene, but the focus is on General Berringer, further behind him and to the left. He is speaking, and the closed-caption subtitle reads "God dammit I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good"
