i actually think it's disgusting that slack automatically changes :) to 🙂. they do NOT communicate the same meaning! you're embarrassing me!!
May 6, 2025 18:54standard smiley face emoji is dead behind the eyes and i am not afraid to say it
yeah that emoji has Done Some Things
:) - Kind, honest, a genuine smile
🙂 - there are bodies in my basement. The only thing preventing you from being the newest corpse is my facade of being a human being.
it's like Big Emoji is trying to insinuate its smiling, crying, winking, kissing, shrugging, smirking influence on my individual right to freedom of expression :(
same with :o and 😮
Tfw you realize you might have been using a key emoji very incorrectly for years.
:) translates to: "Yay, I'm so happy!"
🙂 translates to: (disinterested tone)"Oh, cool. That so cool."
Or "You're about to make me lose my fucking shit, you little asshole."
The thing about a smiling emoji, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white.
Flat Skircle

Both of these paths appear almost as if you have to leap across a chasm to get to the destination
this is why i love :^) because it can be either
jerry…yes??
I should replay Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
(:
I initially thought the full on smiley was a way to hide your depression
that's a yugioh card
this is me but discord 🙂
also this wouldn't be a problem if the smiling emoji was good
bsky.app/profile/cute...If someone over 30 sends 🙂 I take it as :) or 😊 to be honest.
😊 - The go to emoji of friendliness when crafting a message for your mother.
This meme is foundationally bad because who doesn't want the Dracula castle? Catch me living there and not in Princess Peach's summer home
<|:^{D
A WIZARD!
And that has made all the difference.
Should I be concerned or pleased that I feel like it makes so much sense? 😥
does slack not have settings where you can turn that off?
it does. the conversion is just the default is all
goddamnit jerry
And that’s why (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎ is the only appropriate response on Slack
Confirmed: I am heading to the haunted castle.
:)
She's so right
born to :) forced to 🙂
i r confused
(:
she’s got bette davis eyes
D:
Agree. Grammar bullies
“🙂” is fine ya big babies
:) does not equal 🙂
But (: DOES equal 🙃
And if they send you a 😀 and not a 😄 or a ☺️ you RUN
Discord does it too. Hell, even Google Docs does it.
Why would GOOGLE DOCS need to convert :) into an EMOJI?!
me in 2011 when skype automatically turned my :3 into a goddamn 🐈
😈
😃
I feel this way more with Twitch emote faces. Give me back my sideways smiley, dangit. That or give me Android blobbies.
I used to work with the generally recognized inventor of the emoticon, Scott Fahlman. I remember him being a lovely guy. And I see he's still alive.

My phone does this automatically and it drives me MAD
Seems like both paths go off a cliff...so not so happy?
😁
I love jerry
