It's necessary, TARS.
GIFs are the least efficient way of sharing motion. We should have been using MPNGs or MJPGs for quite some time now ... What are you doing Internet?

Because you can't just redirect a Sirius-bound rocket mid-flight to go towards Arcturus just because you found a potential habitable planet there.
Kinetic energy is an unforgiving thing.
Same thing with the GIFs, IPv4, Windows and many other standards.
If we could change habits to better ones on a dime, steampunk would have been a chapter of a history book, not a fantasy.

Actually, the Velcro holds the shuttle together. On one occasion, they tried to save a lot of weight by reducing the amount of Velcro in the shuttle and it disintegrated during launch.
They then claimed something about O-rings and the need to install heaters, for hiding the fact that they just taped more Velcro over the shuttle.

This is what I found when trying to search for my username in Japanese (ピップカード). I can see jump cuts...

Yeah but can you hear shots and car alarms at night? The ones that show you how far civilization has progressed?

er... isn't that perfectly normal and logical?
Well, the positions use zero-based numbering and the length uses one-based numbering...
You should try Lua then. All it's arrays begin at position 1.

What?
How can there be a non-one-based length?
I.e. There are 5 train stations and 4 segments of rail in between.
0 segments before the first station, 1 before the second, ..., 4 before the fifth.
0 to 4 index, 5 total.
Perfectly consistent and logical...
But it does kills mental arithmetic ability of children that are introduced to this the hard way.
