As many of us know (and for those who don't), rolling shutter is caused by sensor readout, which is done row (or groups of rows) by row from one edge of the sensor to the other, at a pace that doesn't keep up with fast action.
Put another way, when the subject is moving faster than the camera can read the sensor from one edge to the other, the subject will appear distorted. That's when we see curved swinging golf clubs, or curved airplane propellers.
A few years ago I mused that one day rolling shutters would be a thing of the past, and that we'd see phone apps that recreate a rolling shutter for comedic effect. The second part of my amusement has arrived, arrived early. I'll post the link in a reply.
If you cant be bothered to swipe it and post it here than it doesnt really matter.

Oooh, good one, except that I did post it here. I just didn't put the link in my initial post to prevent it from being moved to the "Links and Resources" wasteland. Most people get that. Sorry you didn't.
Very funny! The weirdest effect is with video of a helicopter whose blade rotation period is the same multiple of the shutter speed, making it appear that the helicopter is flying or floating through the air with no blade rotation. Note that effect would happen global shutter or not - a shutter speed change is needed to fix that.

YOU dont get it. YOU did not post the photo.
If you cant be bothered to post an image then quite clearly its not worthy of note.

Did you click on the link? It's not a still photo, it's a video. I don't know; can you post videos on here? I don't think so, but I've never tried it.
If you can't be bothered to click on the link, then you don't know what we're talking about, and it would be better to refrain from comment, don't you think?

Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. What's the purpose of nitpicking an amusing and interesting post? Oh, on that subject, a bit of proofreading would have replaced than with then and doesnt with doesn't. Oh my, I do believe I just nitpicked myself.
