This resulted in the actual gif file that I wanted being placed on my Desktop as download.gif. Downloading via cURL curl -output ~/Desktop/download.gif

So, if we take the above example, we could load the actual gif by going to įrom here, we can alternate/right click to download the gif with the correct extension and go on about our day.

Though I kind of feel like I’m being gaslighted into believing. Now, the only thing we have to change for the actual gif to load is to change to i. Why was it chosen: M-W cites the age of misinformation we live in, and a 1,740 increase in lookups of the word this year. When we go to a standard Giphy source URL, like, a web page is loaded instead of the gif that we want. Luckily, a kind person left a very helpful comment below with an even simpler approach, which I think is the simplest approach overall. This worked, but it’s not convenient to have to open up a terminal window to run a cURL command. I figured that Giphy was probably detecting that based on who/where the request was coming from, so I tried downloading the gif file by running a cURL command.
