To me it means "I take particular notice of this"

Such as,

[Third world country]: holy crap guys I struck oil!
[United States of America]: ๐Ÿ‘€

I'm enjoying what Sync made of this

Oh god, it looks like it's about to sing.

Help me, Dr Zaius!

I like yours more than voyagers rendition

Yours has the air of a stupid lovecraftian being, my spirit animal

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yours is more accurate however.

[โ€“] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but what good is that when yours is funnier

I like that it has perspective. A rarity among emojis

The moon is like the lennyface of emojis

( อกยฐ อœส– อกยฐ)

The new moon, haha, it's not black it's just shaded

My co-workers tell me it's either "that's interesting," i.e. it drew their attention; or just that they're looking at something. For example, if I provide a link to a ticket, they're indicating that they received the link and have clicked or will click it to look at it.

I have also seen one person use it like the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when using a messenger that did not support embedded images.

[โ€“] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Pretty widely understood at my last two companies to mean something like "looking into this" or "taking a look." Basically just a quick acknowledgment to let the person asking the question know that they can probably expect a response from that person soon, and lets others know that someone's already on it so we don't duplicate effort.

I always assumed this was a common usage on Slack.

[โ€“] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

That's how I would have interpreted it, as well, but I've seen it used in situations where that didn't seem fitting so I asked.

[โ€“] lunarul@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Same in my company. Acknowledging that you've seen the message and are looking into it.

[โ€“] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 4 days ago

it just means "looking" idk what's so hard about it.

[โ€“] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Who here knows what O.o means?

[โ€“] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

It means confuse/bewildered

[โ€“] lnxtx@feddit.nl 10 points 4 days ago

Every small time regional band on social media

"๐Ÿ‘€ Watch this space! Big surprises coming!"

Oh, did you guys write a few more songs? Did you get that gig at the county fair? THATS WHAT THE FUCK BANDS DO! Just fucking tell us when the new thing happens. I don't have the bandwidth to remember that you guys have another self produced album of mediocre bar rock coming out.

[โ€“] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm out of touch with THE YOUTH and I have no idea why you youngins use ๐Ÿ˜ญ to convey any and every emotion possible.

Just use merman. Merman means everything.
