Man we’re all fucking old people here aren’t we.
Well, back in 19-dickety-2, I used to wear an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.
Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now, where were we?
Back when a dime bag used to cost a dime!
I used to get free cocaine in my soda.
It’s making a comeback except now the kids are using shallots.
Of course they are. Always opting for the more expensive options, these kids.
No sir. This thread is about emoji, not GILFs.
I’m not even 30 yet. I’m not ready to be calling myself old. D:
You’re not old unless you type smileys with a nose :-D
Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it 🤣 or 😂 the one that kids make fun of us for using?
Both, grandpa. Now let’s get you to bed.
Oh… oh no… 8:30pm and i am in bed :(
I do love MILFS. Can’t lie.
:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart
😀
shudders
It just does not convey the same feeling.
Especially that one with the teeth.
You should at least use the normal smile emoji 🙂
:P is appropriate a lot of times when 😛 is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. 😋 Is what they should use. One looks like you’re being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
Yeah, there’s a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I’ve seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like “this is amusing but also horrible” or “putting on a smile despite everything being awful”. Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.
:I is one of my favs
Also D:

^^ is what is used most often here (Germany)
You inspired me to make this meme OP:
Nice
Nice
Nice
Tried auto-cock for a while and turned it off, my texting life has been considerably more ppleasurable.
I work in a technical field. My work email changes “<3” to a heart emoji.
Pardon me, sir. I was not expressing my admiration, its just that your analyte concentration is less than the measuring range of my instrumentation.

When your phone capitalizes any word that might be something Google could make an ad dollar on somehow
Autocorrect be like: Capitalize’s
I put autocorrect on suggestion mode. That way it still suggests words but never corrects what I type, unless I click the suggestion. Much better.
I call automistake.
You gotta watch it like a hawk. Sometimes it will change words three or four words back in what I’m typing.
I actually disabled the damn thing a few years ago. It kept changing the meaning of words. Unfathomable bullshit like love to hate and will to won’t.
It’s gotten terrible. So has voice to text. My work iPhone OEM voice to text is literally useless, as is Google voice to text on my iphone. My Samsung OEM is ass. And the Google one via same Samsung, is getting worse by the hour, but used to be amazing.
Same. Only thing I keep enabled is the auto insert the ’ into words like don’t
Mine won’t stop conflating “mom” with “mmm” I swear to fucking God I’m about to root my phone just to find a way to remove them both from the built in dictionary.
The cherry on top? It goes both ways(giggity). So if im texting “thanks mom”, it wants to say " thanks mmm". And vice versa. Of course it’s not all the time, JUST at the exact worst times in conversations.
Mine thinks “human” should be spelled “juman” and that “.com” is supposed to be “.con”.
It’s ridiculous
Ahh yes. Like My favorite movie, Humanji
Lmao
Emotions take more effort than emoji these days.

Oh for duck sake I hate it when it does that!
Another reason why I miss my full keyboard: I could tell autocorrect to bend over, snap it’s spine and fuck itself with it’s own spinal cord.
That’s why I draw them the other way round (-:
I just use a space : )
…on PC.
What about
(•_ )•
In my head it translates to an upside down face which is more like a signal of slight discomfort
I’m old. I don’t understand what people are trying to tell me half the time they use emojis.
Who in tarnation is cooking an eggplant peach dish that’s splashing? I saw my daughter’s text messages and her boyfriend didn’t even bring any of this strange dish to share when he came over. Kids these days…
😶🌫️
I’ll raise you one better: I don’t know what I’m saying when I use them. I’m sure some have meanings, but I just pick whatever looks funny. I’ve probably caused some confusion before.
🫠
I see this as an example of either how little some people making decisions in tech companies know about what people want or about how different the things I want are from the majority of people.
Your framing is wrong. They know some people have preferences. They just don’t care because emojis drive engagement, which drives revenue for many of them.
