replyGotta love websites that hijack basic browser functions, in this case forcing smooth scroll on.
replySeems to be some sort of design agency or similar, it's basically internet-law at this point that those always fuck with the scroll movements of your browser, for some reason.
replyNo more gun emoji. Humanity could not be trusted with the cartoon revolver emoji. Take your squirtgun, citizen.
replyAlso no thief emoji or pirate emoji. Can someone enlighten me why we don't have it?
replySimply because nobody has successfully pitched the Unicode group to add one.
replyAnyone can pitch new emoji, they just have to go through the fairly easy but strict formal process.
Alex Schmidt, a humor writer (formerly of Cracked and others) did this process for the bison emoji. I enjoyed his “miniseries” about it: https://www.bisonemojipodcast.com/
replydoes the reverse notebooklm exist yet that turns podcasts into longform journalism?
replyNot that I know of. And I generally prefer written pieces to podcasts :).
replyThe show notes for episode 2 have good references (no fun commentary though): https://www.bisonemojipodcast.com/show-notes
I was looking for a pirate emoji like 5 minutes ago. I'm sure it's not the first time but I'm super surprised that still isn't in there. Seems so obvious.
replyWhat’s next, a cowboy emoji? A ninja emoji? But seriously, as much as I like emojis, I kind of feel like they should stick to emotions. Maybe other intangible things. They’re hard to convey verbally (and succinctly), simple concrete nouns are good for a bit of fun and for UI icons, but really not very useful if we’re being honest. Unless you’re texting with a lizard, or my lazy elementary-school niece who shouldn’t really have a phone anyway…
replyOr you're texting with people whose native language uses a logographic system.
replyI love the pregnant man emoji, I use it all the time after a big meal
replystill no Guillotine Emoji either, although not for a lack of trying.
