You're missing the bottom row of dark hands. Please fix this before I spend all day thinking about it.
It also wouldn't hurt to change the font size on "this" so the middle row doesn't bulge out.

👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿👆🏿How bout this? Sync doesn't support subscript so I'm not sure how this looks.
Opened in browser, superscript looks better, still jacked in sync tho.
It just put ~s on either side so it bulges more. I appreciate the effort though.
Yeah, that looks good in browser. I guess jerboa doesn't support subscript either.
Yeah, that's what it did on sync. But it looks legit in FF.
White hands in the center and black hands expelled to the fringes, what are you trying to say?
Uh oh, op EXPOSED!
Or it's the order of commands, looking at how the fingers point, in which case it's the reverse of what you imply he's trying to say.
beutifull
Do people actually use them like this? I'd assume its part of the joke, but then again I'm so old neither I nor my contacts use any emoji - we all "xD" and ":'D" each other like we did during the war I ought to tell you younglings about.
I'm a zoomer and I also thoroughly dislike emojis in most situations. Emoticons feel so much more personal c:

UwU what's this?
That's the spirit! :)
I think it's those who didn't grow up in the internet age and came here much later. What Gretchen McCulloch calles "Pre Internet People" in her book Because Internet. Meaning they grow up before internet and were introduced to it much later. Think of boomers who get their first smartphone because their son in law is afraid they get lost in the forest or something. You get the vibes.
So I think in this case it is part of the joke, making fun of older conservatives
I think "I'm so old" doesn't make the most sense as reasoning, considering that especially Boomers and old people are often famous for over-using emojis.
It depends. Not using emoji is certainly a trait most often found in old people, it's just that very old people swing in the other direction.
I guess it depends on how you define old and very old.
It's more of a missing middle. Boomers and some Gen x use emojis literally while Gen Z and some millennials use emojis ironically or humorously.
My (very kind, sweet, wholesome) 70 year old boss at work uses a lot of emoji. Not to this extent, but more than one a text seems like a lot to me and he has used 4-5.
I use :) and :D really much (the former extremely much, like really in every second sentence). :( also sometimes. But there are also quite some Emojis I often use, especially 😅. And being on Discord, there are also many custom emotes like :KEKW: I frequently use.
I'll go on a limb and guess you're German?
Yes. How did you know?
My English in that comment wasn't very good, but I was really sleep deprived when I wrote it, sorry for that.Das kekw hat dich primär verraten, aber die anderen Smileys werden so gut wie nur von Deutschen benutzt. :D
