What's this jaundice erasure

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 27 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Uh oh, op EXPOSED!

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

That's the spirit! :)

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (2 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.

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It depends. Not using emoji is certainly a trait most often found in old people, it's just that very old people swing in the other direction.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I guess it depends on how you define old and very old.

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 1 year ago (3 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 😅. And being on Discord, there are also many custom emotes like :KEKW: I frequently use.

lol these comments making the lemmy user base look ooooold, and I’m not that young haha

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Emoji hate is very much a millennial thing.

The childrens and the olds are wrong.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year 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.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You youngins already have everywhere else on the internet!

Well that was a left turn at Albuquerque

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 67 points 1 year 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 “moldy”! The point is the emojis! Here’s one for dickmas that takes it to 11:

The joke doesn't need your snobbery either.
