Why is facebook's grimace so horrifying?

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

They said no I don’t think just not having lips is terrifying enough, and gave it depth so it feels like it could just bite you at any moment.

It looks like it has one of those mouth guards in that dentists use to whiten teeth

[-] PatMustard@feddit.uk 4 points 8 months ago

Reminds me of the overbite Winnie the Pooh meme face with those teeth

WhatsApp is not its own company, it belongs to Facebook/Meta.

Also, on that topic, you could do the same thing you did with X/Twitter to Meta/Facebook.

*edit: Oh, and of course Alphabet/Google. Curious how many big tech companies seem keen on obfuscating their own name these days...

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Facebook the product is still called Facebook, Google the product is still called Google. It's only the parent companies that changed their names, their products kept the same branding.

Twitter the product has been, or is being, rebranded as X along with the company.

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

But this is about companies, not products or brand names.

[-] RedditMobileMyAss@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 8 months ago

The URL is still twitter, so that’s what it is.

I deadname corporations run by transphobes

Another good reason.

Facebook and WhatsApp are both owned by Meta -- why on Earth do they use two different emoji fonts?

[-] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Facebook and WhatsApp were separate apps until Facebook bought WhatsApp. That's why there's so much difference in the design language, functionality, etc.

Meta is the name of the company. Facebook is the product made by the company. I acknowledged that in the comment you're replying to.

Honorable mention: Samsung 😬

Porky Minch ass looking mfer.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

That's not how emojis work. They look different for everybody. It all depends on how the client renders Unicode character U+1F62C. Just like text.

Try it out. Find a PC with a web browser and find your comment and emoji, and see how it looks on a different platform.

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh, yeah, I know how emojis work using unicode, I just didn't bother to attach an image of the Samsung 😬 emoji for laziness reasons (I myself don't have a Samsung Smartphone either.)

I'm sorry, I should have done that, now I have made myself look like a fool :')

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh shit my bad, I was being a nerd. 🤓

[-] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Haha no problem. We all are nerds around here, otherwise we'd probably be using Instagram and TikTok (and Reddit).

Funny back story: I first learned about Unicode around 2013 - 15 (I always judge those wrong in terms of when I started using certain apps/sites)... Back then people would start commenting shit on YouTube using emoji but Firefox hadn't introduced emoji support yet, causing them to be displayed as Unicode strings which lead to comments looking like this: "Hahaha, haven't laughed like this in ages U+1F602 Best video ever U+2764"

Facebook's looks just a tiny bit too realistic.

they really got that just-dipped-my-balls-in-the-unidentifiable-buffet-soup-and-it-was-scorching kinda look to em

[-] mutter9355@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, Facebook's one is really getting into uncanny valley territory. Especially those teeth...

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Is my group of friends and I the only ones who use that emoji as kind of "fuck yeah" or "yes please"?

Because I don't think this meme is meant that way 🤔

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Yes, I would be very confused if you sent me one that way

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Interesting, we use it in a way like we would use this gif:

As a way of saying yes a bit too excitedly, leaning into craziness. 😅
