If I remember correctly, this was the one: https://img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1482/29/148229548198... (beware, it blinks ;P)

YIKES, that's using like the minimum frame delay!

It won't blink as fast when played in the Twitter website or app. Twitter automatically converts it to a video when you post it, and there's a bit of a delay between every loop when you loop a video, as compared to a GIF.
After I received some assistance with testing (someone created a new account to test with, but then the account mysteriously disappeared - not sure what happened), I can definitely agree that videos (webms/mp4s) have a notable limp: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0l5ewAKDn5aNV9OS0x6QWw4VD... (this was the easiest way to share it)

I tried recording the GIF but that was too much for the GPU in my ThinkPad :P suffice to say that it's about ten times faster (and that playing the GIF in `animate' is even faster than that)

Ah, right, good point. (It's mildly amusing that the affidavit went to such lengths to describe GIFs, when nowadays it's really a webm or mp4.)

It seems that either twitter has vacuumed up any copies of the gif from their website, or google reverse image search has removed all/has no indexed copies of it on site:twitter.com. (I don't exactly want to upload the gif to twitter to test it...)
