Here at the Daily Dot, we swap GIF images with each other every morning. Now we’re looping you in. In the Morning GIF, we feature a popular—or just plain cool—GIF we found on Reddit, Tumblr, or elsewhere on the Internet.

How many dancing GIFs can fill a digital dance floor before the fire marshal is called?

By that, I mean until the processor of my 5-year-old Lenovo laptop can’t take it anymore. Apparently the magic number is 35.

This dance party is courtesy of Fuzzy Wobble, a student project for the Humor and Code class at New York’s Parsons School of Design & Technology. 

The browser-powered application allows you to set and resize 16 different dancing GIFs, including fat Spider-Man, the prancersise woman, and an pixelated Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on five different dance floors. You can also select what tune you’d like your GIFs to boogie down to. 

Here’s what a full dance floor looked like. How many GIFs can you pack in?
