Make the carts NFC and turn Share on when you remove it. You could Tap to swap whatever gif is currently displayed on someone else's cart. That's probably easier than dirt cheap, disposable displays.
Do disposable displays exist? The ones i have, at least, aren't biodegradable at all, and are in fact barely recyclable at all. Seems like you're proposing an environmental disaster.
You're right that it would be catastrophic using current tech, but I was only thinking in terms of feasibility.

And have a button on them that cycles through previously taken gifs.
I think that breaks the model. Make them reusable carts, but each one should hold one image. If you want to take a new image you have to erase an old one.

Why specifically the GIF format internally? I haven't seen a GIF come out of a digital camera in ... ever, actually.
In the "new lingo", GIF means a short animated image loop. See, for example, /r/gifs or Twitter's "Add a GIF" feature. A "GIF" can be in .mp4 format, for instance, so there's little connection (other than historical) with the actual GIF image protocol.
Maybe we should distinguish these two meanings (1980's image file format and any short looping video) by pronouncing them differently. I suggest we use the correct pronunciation for the former, and the infamous wrong pronunciation for the latter.
Hah, not exactly what most people think when you use the word 'print' but then again ... People have asked what is the impact of 'free' CPUs. Something Dave Rosenthal realized way back in the 90's was that the electronics for driving a display could be printed on the margins of the display and eliminate the need for a separate controller board. Having watched the evolution of displays and seeing Mary Lou Jepsen's wor…
Replace that cigarette box by a smartphone, and the implementation would already be simpler AND slimmer. Possibly also cheaper.
How about actually printing, then laminating on a lenticular surface providing a "GIF-sized" short moving-image effect? [edited per comments]
That's a great idea. I can imagine a simple hack that modifies a Polaroid Snap [1] or similar so that it prints a lenticular-compatible image, then sticks on a lenticular lens automatically. It might be challenging to keep the lens in alignment with the picture, but I think there are many clever solutions to that issue.
To me it describes excessive concern with minor details and rules. but thats none of my business tho
I think the problem is "what words actually mean" has become a minor detail to some people. My high school English teacher would not have accepted "language evolves" as an excuse for things like confusing "then" and "than" and not knowing the meaning of the word "literally".
Your high school English teacher was wrong. Words mean whatever people think they mean, much like how money is worth whatever people think it's worth. Of course as an individual you can't unilaterally redefine a word, just as you can't declare that a $100 bill is worth as much as a car.
Great trick with laser cutter and black paint on the pcb. I wonder how end resolution compares to milled pcb. Also this is one of problems I have with Imgur. How to archive such detailed imgur post? I have tried ripme [1](great for grabbing image sets without addnotations), printscreen browser extensions (mixed results - most do not cope with floating menus and have problems with dynamic image loading), page saving o…
ya I enjoyed that trick too, it was the first time I had tried it but it worked really well.. You can get the traces to be really fine though I haven't measured the actual doable resolution
Very cool - what settings did you use, and did you have any issues with the copper underneath being reflective? I was thinking of trying this with a K40 for some simple single-layer designs that don't merit waiting a few weeks for fabrication, but I'm a little worried about how shiny and conductive the underlying copper is.
