What's this jaundice erasure

You're missing the bottom row of dark hands. Please fix this before I spend all day thinking about it.

It also wouldn't hurt to change the font size on "this" so the middle row doesn't bulge out.

How bout this? Sync doesn't support subscript so I'm not sure how this looks.


Opened in browser, superscript looks better, still jacked in sync tho.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It just put ~s on either side so it bulges more. I appreciate the effort though.

Yeah, that looks good in browser. I guess jerboa doesn't support subscript either.

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah, that's what it did on sync. But it looks legit in FF.

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

White hands in the center and black hands expelled to the fringes, what are you trying to say?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 points 10 months ago

Uh oh, op EXPOSED!

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Or it's the order of commands, looking at how the fingers point, in which case it's the reverse of what you imply he's trying to say.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Do people actually use them like this? I'd assume its part of the joke, but then again I'm so old neither I nor my contacts use any emoji - we all "xD" and ":'D" each other like we did during the war I ought to tell you younglings about.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm a zoomer and I also thoroughly dislike emojis in most situations. Emoticons feel so much more personal c:

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

That's the spirit! :)

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 14 points 10 months ago

I think it's those who didn't grow up in the internet age and came here much later. What Gretchen McCulloch calles "Pre Internet People" in her book Because Internet. Meaning they grow up before internet and were introduced to it much later. Think of boomers who get their first smartphone because their son in law is afraid they get lost in the forest or something. You get the vibes.

So I think in this case it is part of the joke, making fun of older conservatives

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I think "I'm so old" doesn't make the most sense as reasoning, considering that especially Boomers and old people are often famous for over-using emojis.

My (very kind, sweet, wholesome) 70 year old boss at work uses a lot of emoji. Not to this extent, but more than one a text seems like a lot to me and he has used 4-5.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I use :) and :D really much (the former extremely much, like really in every second sentence). :( also sometimes. But there are also quite some Emojis I often use, especially πŸ˜…. And being on Discord, there are also many custom emotes like :KEKW: I frequently use.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'll go on a limb and guess you're German?

Yes. How did you know?
My English in that comment wasn't very good, but I was really sleep deprived when I wrote it, sorry for that.

Emoji hate is very much a millennial thing.

The childrens and the olds are wrong.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago

Can confirm. Am millennial and I only use emojis ironically. And to acknowledge messages I don't want to actually respond to on Teams.

Yeah... tbh it's the main thing I miss on Reddit. The userbase of Lemmy seems to be older and unrelatable to me. Also tbh the meme subs were wayyyyy more dank on Reddit.

Even as a bit, that's just too many emoji.

Which is a shame because the joke doesn't need them to be funny

[–] glizzyguzzler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 10 months ago (5 children)

The whole joke plays into a terminally horny me-me emoji copypasta that people liked to crank out a few years ago - making it β€œmoldy”! The point is the emojis! Here’s one for dickmas that takes it to 11:
