I don't have anything to say to that meaningless and stupid remark.

Those of us who have them are about 3 avatar fads behind and need to catch up. I mean, I don't even know who this guy is:

Long ago Cybershadow made a thing that generates those 3D avatars, I don't know the link anymore though. I don't even know who this guy is either.

And yet you replied to it. Coincidence? I think not.

They are not rotating.
It's an optical illusion of a rotating 3-dimensional body, projected to a 2-dimensional plane.

Heck, it's not even a 3-dimensional body.
That's an illusion too. It's just a batch of lines, cleverly arranged to give you the perception of the
outlines of a stack of planes arranged in the shape of a 3-dimensional body.
where is everybody getting them?
It all started with Futurworm using this logo from the Turbo Recordings website as his avatar:

Later, someone tried to manually create something similar with image editing an animated gif.
The results were lousy, so CyberShadow wrote a program that could automatically convert image files to such a wonderful illusion as mentioned above.
