Steganography

The laser beam killing this jak is actually a collection of 5 images of Don Turtelli sniffing feets

Steganography (also called Soyganograpgy) is the practice of embedding hidden data inside images. Despite 4chan having built in filters to prevent it, it is a common technique used by Leebaiters to post cheese. This technique is also used by Glowchads to distribute cheese pizza.

An example of soyganography being used on /qant/. If you see a hidden gem, remember to reply with "mined" to let the poster know their gem has been found.

Techniques

The most common soyganography technique used on /qa/ is hiding images in the second frame of a GIF. This is achieved by setting the delay on the first frame to a high number, so it looks like a normal still image (sometimes a soyjak). Lee generally responds to these posts with the "And before you fags start implying" copypasta explaining how to view the hidden cheese. If Lee hasn't responded to bait GIFs, a frog poster will usually say "I'm going to start implying" with a magnifying glass pepe.

And before you fags start implying, it's a gif, and if you load it and wait long enough, it turns into Fagmark's pickle pony avatar. Or if you open the gif in Photoshop, GIMP, Preview, EZGif, etc. it can show both frames immediately. - Lee Goldson
