i remember slicing images into rectangles which could be fit into a table. stole some portrait photograph of a woman, maxed out contrast, color reduction + dithering, then drew the eyes shut and make the open/close frames into gifs with different timings. the result: an image of a women who blinked both eyes independently, without the use of css and js.

the outcome wasn't planned, it just happened - but it was so funny i still have to laugh all those years later.

Choose prime numbers for the duration of those gifs and they will never close at the same time :)
Think this one through.

d₁ = 3, d₂ = 5

What happens at t = 15?

That makes sense. My bad. I think with coprime numbers it works as I intended.
