My mate is technically a boomer and he puts lol and emojis at the end of his messages.
My sister is nearly a boomer yet will not use lol or emojis. However she ends every sentence with at least two x's. That's every sentence!
I still don't know which is worse.
Edit: I just remembered. My mate texted me once to tell me his brother just got diagnosed with arse cancer and ended the text with a few prayer emojis, an upside down head emoji, with a lol in-between.
Maybe it's the psychology of inferring tone from text, and not wanting to be misunderstood in a faster-paced communications medium. A shortcut to ensure the message is received with the proper intent when the engagement time has fallen drastically?
I don't mind that as much as the boomer thing of adding ellipses at the end of every text. Especially extra strength ellipses........ Horrid writing style
Edit: I wrote an 8-dot ellipses and Lemmy truncated it to three. I just love that.

The modern internet: where βfuckβ is censored, but fucking your grandma is not.

It's a form of engagement bait. Downvote and block.

For just a moment I thought this was in reference to grandma...
hitmyspot@aussie.zone · 7 pts · 184d
Not if grandma might see it.

Not when talking about your own grandma you can't.

Then op should not have re-posted it.
We now live in a world of unnecessary censorship and redactions, and I disagree with it.

Yeah, what's with boomers and the need to add an emoji at the end if each message?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 184d
The singular is emojus
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org · 0 pts · 183d
Singular and plural are the same because it's a Japanese loanword. All nouns in Japanese can be used this way, to my knowledge.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 183d
Nope, it's Latin. The original emojus was the dong, and could be found scrawled on every wall in Rome.
