It brings me joy to hear someone call them emoticons.

Every once in a while I call my picture an avatar just to remind people "profile pic" is boring and "pfp" doesn't actually mean that.

emoticons were the correct answer, emojis were a mistake.

Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with "XD :3 ><" and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. "UwU" is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)

I like to think >.< And :3 lives on, but it's only furries at this point isn't it. As a cat I will take :3 to my grave

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

worry not, it's furries and a lot of submissive people

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Not a furry, still use :3

I have three cats though

it was moderately post ironic for us, when we used it. It went from being a once in a while thing just to add some additional slang. To a post hyper irony period where the joke is that the words we used dont make any sense and have no meaning, therefore you can just do that with EVERY word.

Once again, Gen X is skipped. Whatever.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 24 points 2 days ago (3 children)

they leave gen x out because they always show up in the comments. sadly the gen x tradition. representation through solidarity in underexposure. :(
