A few attempts at the "open in notepad++ and change random stuff" technique:



That seemed pretty lazy though. I made these with a python script, not sure which one I like better:

Are you doing those directly to gifs, or individual frames and making them a gif again?
Because I can't for the life of me corrupt a gif without it breaking.

The first two were gifs that I corrupted, the other thing was a still image I made an animation out of.

I broke the gifs a lot too; it took a lot of trial and error. I would make one small change, save it, then see if the gif still worked, and undo the change if it broke. Just changing a single character in the file is enough to cause noticeable glitching though.

I'd stay away from the beginning of the file if you're just using a text editor. Gifs have a bunch of stuff at the beginning like the header and some color information before it starts describing the actual animation. Unless you know what you're doing changing any of the stuff at the beginning will probably just make the gif unplayable.
