Not enough cat memes =(

We need more cat-related memes

Perhaps we could use the imgur API. In fact their search example is for cats!

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.imgur.com/3/gallery/search/{{sort}}/{{window}}/{{page}}?q=cats' \ --header 'authorization: Client-ID {{clientId}}'

While inefficient, using the students as cheap labor to find and post cat-related memes into some shared folder on the repository will work well with minimal setup.

@BLubez I think that is an O(N²) solution, as students will procrastinate until the last minute. Perhaps we could maximize efficiency by making sure all of our memes are actually GIFs. This could be solved in O(log(N)) time with the GIPHY open gif search API.

@DomThePorcupine I think we should also integrate the Tenor and PopKey APIs so that we could have O(3log(N)) which while not asymptotically better does provide noticeable improvements in speed for real world situations.
