You can use Slack commands like /giphy here (and everywhere) with this browser extension
8We use Slack at Mediocre/Meh for just about all work communication. One of the less useful, but more fun things is to / giphy [something] (but without the space) and get an animated gif automatically. In fact, you get used to doing it enough that it's weird you can't do it elsewhere.
http://slashcommand.club/ adds the ability to do giphy and a bunch of other things almost anywhere. Including our topic, comment and reply posts here. Like so:
There's some other commands, like / selfie and / spotify, but I think / giphy is the best one.
It's Chrome only, for now. They say Safari and Firefox are coming soon. And it's a little buggy, like when I tried to type / giphy without the space, clicked "dismiss" and it deleted some random words from this post. But otherwise:

Heads up please when available for the other browsers. Thanks
Oh boy, so now I can be annoyed at the terrible choice Giphy made everywhere and not just in Slack.
@mikey It's much better, you get a grid of choices to pick from.
@dave WHY DOESN'T SLACK DO THIS?
@mikey Hey, slack emoji too! What cave have I been living in!?
