I remember back in the day when "lol" seemed like overkill. Then we got the "๐" emoji as a Facebook react. Over time people gravitated to "๐" even though it's so far outside the realm of what people are actually doing. A slight smile, or even a smirk gets a "๐" out of politeness. We never thought anyone would be daft enough to actually use the "๐คฃ". But more and more people are like "๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ" for even a slight smile. What's next, gen Z? Will you have to invent a new emoji to express the catastrophe of your hilarious laughter? ๐

Crap, Iโm in my 40s and use ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
All the time..
I will take โgen zโ as a compliment ๐ซ
Retvrn to "haha"
And if it REALLY amuses you... "ahaha"
The rule im using rn is that if something does make me laugh out loud i zap it 100 sats.
Corollary: if you got zapped 100, then you made someone actually laugh.
A laughing skull would be a great emoji for 2023. Can we have one please?
