emojis

If you're bored and you know it, stare at your screen. If you're bored and you know it, stare at your screen. If you're bored and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you're bored and you know it stare at your screen. And look at memes.

Mamma mia! The new iOs and Android emojis were announced yesterday and Twitter has got a lot of feelings about 'em. The roll out will include a woolly mammoth, a glass of boba tea, men in wedding veils, and the classic Italian "pinched fingers" stereotype that's mostly associated with spicy meatballs. One Twitter user took offense with that pretty commonly-held opinion, and decided to share an incredibly unfortunate take regarding the hand gesture and the stereotype. @Sonigupta504, who has since protected her tweets, felt that assuming the gesture is Italian is a eurocentric and "white washed" stance. People on Twitter do not seem to agree. 

Sometimes adults and brands try way too hard to seem current, hip, and with it. These are some of our favorite (and fresh) pandering moments. We kind of want to give these people credit for trying.

It's been a rough day, let's end it on a funny note. 

It's hard to remember to take care of yourself these days. Maybe if you had an adorable Twitter bot sending you emojis and reminders it would be easier. That's what @jonnysun thought when they created @tinycarebot.

If you think this is a terrible idea, you're right! Which is why it's not being made at all. It was just a prank, bros!
