【auto eroticism strangulation】

We're less than two weeks into 2020,auto eroticism strangulation and I think I've already ruined it.

A new app called Doublicat allows users personalizeGIFs by morphing their own faces onto them, commonly known online as a deepfake. I, a true trailblazer at heart, decided to take on the mission of trying out Doublicat, just so y'all can know what you're getting into. You can thank me (or hate me) later.

To start, the app prompts you to take a selfie so it has something to overlay on the GIF. It then scans your face. According to the company, the photo itself is deleted from the servers right after it's processed, but the app saves representations of facial features. Doublicat told Mashable that it does not share data with anyone.

Once you have a photo saved in your profile, you're free to explore the app's collection of GIFs and pick which one you want to put yourself into. At that point, you're just the touch of a button away from seeing your face on a popular GIF and having night terrors about it for weeks. With that warning, let's get on with this shitshow.

It might help to know what I look like before we start shaking things up, so here's a big picture of my face!

Again, I'm very, very sorry about this.

1. Princess Leia stood for hope. This GIF is the opposite of that.

2. I'm already regretting this.

3. Brb, gonna go pursue a career as Jennifer Aniston.

4. The Bachelor that nobody asked for (and frankly, nobody wants).

5.OH MY GOD

6. Would like this to be over now.

7. My self-esteem is officially in the negative.

8. Me after approximately 642 years of trying to grow facial hair.

9. The dance of freedom. The death bells. The rising of the Joker. One of the most magnificent, sublime, monumental, extraordinary scenes in cinema history.

10. Alright, maybe this shouldn't exist.

11. OH, I'm mad.

12. Britney, I'm so sorry.

13. Me looking at this GIF

14. Me + The Biebs = The (Me)ebs

15. "Thank you for bein' a friieenn" — OH MY FUCK

16. LET ME BE HOT JUST ONE TIME

17. Someone come take this away from me.

18. My face on Mike Pence's is my form of gay rebellion.

19. This GIF ripped a whole in the astral plane.

20. You just got 7 years of bad luck for looking at this.

21. Everyone, let me introduce you to my sleep paralysis demon.

22. Sweet fucking nibblets...

23. Wholly upsetting

24. "Pokemon Go"? More like "Pokemon Go" to whatever makes you feel better after seeing this.

25. Hello, yes, I'll be auditioning for the role of all five One Direction guys.

26. Typing this with what may be my dying breath. Standby.

27. Update: I have passed away and am now typing this from the afterlife.

28. UNLIMITED CRINGE!! *Shoots Force lightning at this GIF*

29. Sorry for this, Reylos. I believe I just sank this ship.

Welp. We're at the end, and what a staggering journey it's been. Late New Year's resolution: Avoid mirrors at all times. If you want to show your friends and family some sincerely cursed GIFs, consider giving this a try. We're not responsible if they dissociate from you. Doublicat is currently available for both iOS and Android.

Unfortunately, users are currently limited to the GIF choices Doublicat has already provided. You also can't use pictures from your camera roll. However, Doublicat told Mashable that updates will be coming to allow users to upload their own GIFs, search for GIFs in-app, and use pictures from their phone's camera roll.

OK. I'm gonna go cry. Here's a Trump/Dr. Evil crossover for the road.
