So around the time I was polishing up the little QR project, I came across this animated gif in my socials(*). My first thought was "🤣😂🤣", which was soon followed by "Wait, what?! This works!?"...

After a quick test pausing the clip at several points in time I realised all of these frames were valid QR codes. I'd never seen anything like it, so I was very intrigued...

Naturally, the following question that popped into my head was "Hmm,... I wonder if I can plot these?"... So, what do you think? Could I? Should I? Would I?...

(*) As I mentioned, I came across this gif on a social media platform. As I'm sharing it here, I tried figuring out who made this. The internet told me it was @zackfreedman but Zack himself told me it was someone on his Discord. And it was. Somebody going by the name 'Repeated Failure'. I had a feeling we'd get along in real life. Our conversation wasn't much more than an acknowledgement that he'd made this QR originally after which silence ensued. However, I was able to find this qr-convert Github repo by someone going by the same moniker... That on its turn seems to be relying on a python package named 'amazing-qr' (what's in a name?).

A while later I also somehow stubmeld on the actual tweet from 2022
