Spider can feel the hum of your lighting's electrical circuits, and seeks a way to reach what it presumes is a delicious and juicy and really stupid insect.

Speaking of "emoji", why is this a thing. Everyone was calling them "emoticons" before, and no one was complaining - so what the heck has changed?

[Orange Wizard]

Blame the weebs

The complexity?

=)  is an emoticon.
Tableflip is an emoji.

At least that's how I use it.

[Orange Wizard]

The words mean literally the same thing (emotion-picture) but emoji is a Japanese loanword.

[TheBiggerFish]

Then again, there's also just 'emote'.

[Orange Wizard]

That's an abbreviation of emoticon.

Why do I know so much about this?

[TheBiggerFish]

I don't know.

Well you see it's a thing that people use to denote their emotions because normal text is not expressive enough especially for people who do this at everything that's emotion worthy

It's specifically an app you use that adds an extra keyboard to whatever kind of smartphone you have. Instead of letters it's icons.

I dislike emoticons in general. If you cannot convey your emotions through text, you are just not doing it right.  I don't think I got a single post with an emoticon here.
