I FOUND IT.
it took nearly four hours, but i found it.

thank you for coming along with me into the mines of my twitter archive to find this gif. dropbox deleted this, and many others when they 'just decided' to delete all locally stored files, making all the stuff you had exist only in the cloud.

i fired them for this, and replaced them with synology drive, that I sync over wireguard.

A colleague just wanted to gift me an InkJet...
