Man we're all fucking old people here aren't we.

[-] PhreakyByNature@feddit.uk 53 points 1 year ago

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!

It's making a comeback except now the kids are using shallots.

Yeah maybe somebody can help me here. Is it 🀣 or πŸ˜‚ the one that kids make fun of us for using?

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

Both, grandpa. Now let’s get you to bed.

:D will forever be better than its emoji counterpart

It just does not convey the same feeling.

:P is appropriate a lot of times when πŸ˜› is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. πŸ˜‹ Is what they should use. One looks like you're being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.

:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

You inspired me to make this meme OP:

[-] JimBeann@feddit.de 55 points 1 year ago

We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into πŸ™‚ but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J's in my mails.

I don't remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook 🀨

[-] MildPudding@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

holy crap, is that where all the Js come from?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

If there's a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It's a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.

When i was about 10 i sent an email to my uncle that said "K cool πŸ™‚" with the wingding smile.

His client rendered it "K cool J" and he made fun of my "jive"

Never sent an email using multiple or nonstandard typefaces again. I guess it was a good lesson, but it's one of those hyper cringe core memories.

[-] rosymind@leminal.space 11 points 1 year ago

That's cure. You must have really liked that person :)

[-] JimBeann@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

I guess I did J

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

...who thought that was a good idea

[-] cantsurf@lemm.ee 54 points 1 year ago

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.

Emotions take more effort than emoji these days.

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Oh for duck sake I hate it when it does that!

[-] Transcriptionist@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Image Transcription:

Black text on a white background reading:

"My phone: Changes :) to πŸ™‚

"Me:"

Below the text is a screengrab from the movie Pulp Fiction showing Jules Winnfield looking off to the right and saying "I don't remember asking you a god damn thing".

That's why I draw them the other way round (-:

But please... Please without nose.

I just use a space : )

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I'm old. I don't understand what people are trying to tell me half the time they use emojis.

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

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.

Try turning this into an emoji, Apple. Oh wait, you can't, because I made it up. (Idea may be thought of by someone else before)
