【Taboo Sex Daughter】

Even with all the crap going on Taboo Sex Daughterin the world, you can always count on the internet to come up with something stupidly wonderful to distract you from reality and cheer you up.

Alex Holachek's "Reaction GIF Generator" (via BoingBoing) isn't your typical GIF generator. In what must have been a clever napkin idea, Holachek decided it would be brilliant to combine the randomness of Giphy with Microsoft's Emotion API, which uses machine learning to detect between eight distinct, universal emotions (anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, neutral, sadness, and surprise).

The result of her mashup is this hilarious GIF generator that analyzes your selfie and then spits out a GIF to match your facial expression.
