Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

I grew up with emoticons and find the colorful nature of them quite disruptive… but that might just be me *shrug*
I’m sooooo with you. Emoticons 4eva! And ASCII art.

My keyboard doesn’t have enough Cs on it to properly express how thicc that is.
Hahaha it’s from a VERY NSFW animation, “Axel in Harlem.” It was a big meme on a subreddit I used to go to, that I can no longer remember the name off it was all sped up and had “Ballin’” by Roddy Rich pitched up as the background music. It’s a hoot. I can pull that ASCII art by typing “forgies”. I also have

I usually always use : ) type of faces to give tone, but I used to use text like you did there for shrug, but I assumed it would alter the text due to underlying text editor like this
It does unless you proceed it with a backslash like \*
Yeah I assumed it was just html underneath it all. Test: <i>italics</I> <Strong>bold</strong>
It is eventually encoded into the DOM possibly via HTML or possibly through direct node creation but it’s more accurate to say it’s markdown.
Markdown, never heard the term, the m in html is markup I thought, it’s been years since I did any web design. 2006 I think is when I studied it, so I used notepad, and Dreamweaver was still owned by macromedia haha
Markdown and HTML are indeed both markup languages, markdown is one that was designed to align with a lot of internet text habits that emerged organically like using *s to create lists and ascii tables.

Oh cool thanks. I saw Div tags listed in there, does it natively support such or does that still fall into the css or JavaScript type of chunk.
Edit: nevermind, I bookmarked it, going to read through it all this weekend, could be fun to get more back into some old hobbies
Man, you hit the nail on the head for why emojis nag me, messages being monotone just makes it so much easier to parse.
