Frontal lobes are cool but all that white matter you grow in your 30s is where the good shit happens

I wasn't trying to be unkind. It's just Gen Z whose frontal lobes would be just finished developing, that's all.

No, it's when you become aware of too much shit and enter the next level of needing to learn more coping skills. It's like suddenly growing legs and realizing there's a whole world out there and people who never grew legs are like woah miss bigshot with her LeGssss ooooo so SpEcIaL think you're so FaNcY so WoKe and then form an army of undeveloped against you and they win and you just facepalm for eternity as you scrounge for ways to help them grow legs but they now think growing legs gives you autism or something stupid.
Ignorance is bliss is no understatement. I'm so tired.

Your brain finishes developing around 25 years old. The older Gen Zs are turning 25 now. OP is joking about unironic emoji usage being an old person thing.

Gen X here. Almost never use emoji. When did emoji use become a “old(er) person” thing?
I’ve certainly noticed emoji spamming that couldn't even be called “ironic” among my kids and their friends, so I’m not sure they know what ironic even means.

Got it, thank you.
I'm glad to see that real comedy isn't dead! -

Yeah I always thought that emojis were used most heavily by Gen Z. Millennials seem more likely to use abbreviations like "lol" and "lmao," and Gen X seems more likely to just type "haha." I don't know what boomers do, send audio clips of them laughing?

I guess we are too old for this shit to even matter. I mean we lived to see the OG emoji invented, there was no ironic or non ironic way to use it. And there was only one.

boomers use emojis constantly in a way that's almost frightening. like they have to idea what the faces are supposed to represent and just add as many as they can.

Using
feels very millennial/gen x. -

The scariest part is how many I've caught using
as some kind of disappointed/annoyed face, and get really confused when I say "What's the sexy face for?"I'm sure there's some joke that can be had here about boomers misunderstanding facial expressions for lacking empathy experience or something but it's just a weird common one I've encountered lol.

Some older people have somewhat similar smartphone behavior as teenagers. Those of us born in the ~80s/90s kinda grew up along with technology. A lot of older people adopted it when they were already adults, so they didn't slowly grow used to it the way we did. And younger people started using tech when it was already this super intransparent easy to use thing that it is now. So those groups behave somewhat similarly around it: mobile games, a lot of social media use, and, for some reason, also heavy emoji use. I guess it might be because it's new and cool to them and they never used
etc?Mind you, this is far from universal. Just a bit of a pattern I'm noticing. Also, I don't really view you, a gen x person, as older, so idk.

They start a Skype call so they can show you live how much it made them laugh

I just use that shit cause it's the first thing that pops up, if I have to choose, this is the one I use for everything.

The OG emoji were ascii.
