I think gifs can do that. It's tougher for a meme to do that. I had a meme get to the front page with 22 upvotes, but that was the only time that happened for me with under 25.
Yeah, the downvotes make a difference. When I do political memes, they generally take longer to get to the front page. I still wish I could see the downvotes. I miss the upvote/downvote bar. lol
Hmm... makes you wonder. I just checked and I've only done 4 GIFS in my flip career. I did two 2 years ago because Virginia Penny begged me too. (I think her and Kimberly and Craziness are one in the same. The third one I did has been stuck in submitted since July 4th 2017 :)

The 4th one was a repost during repost week. Just not a GIF guy I guess.
LOL! That's definitely one of the best "hold my beer" moments ever on the 4th of July. Wonder what the mods saw in it that it still has not featured after 13 months!
That's awesome!!! It was on page 2 with 15 upvotes when I left for work this morning and the next time I got a chance to look it already had 32. Gifs seem to have their own set of rules for better or worse...
Looking up the talk of banning straws was interesting. Plastic takes up to 400 years to degrade into the envorment. Also, they cost millions of dollars a year to make. Plasic itself is an issue that needs talking about. My biggest concern is those with disablities who need the straws. They should make alternatitves before making such a ban. Otherwise, I think it's a good start.
You may complain about the straw thing; but when you consider the negligence of the current administration and its refusal to combat the climate change that is making these fires worse and worse every year, I'd take every victory for environmental justice that I can get if I were you.
