"Computer Science Prof tried to joke, but now we're all vibing with ๐๐ฅ #EmoticonOriginStory"
๐จ๐ป๐ BREAKING NEWS IN THE ๐ฏ WORLD OF OLD SOUL TECH ๐ฅ: A Computer Science Professor TRIPPED and FELL into Internet HISTORY after making the most iconic mistake since DJ Khaled yelled โANOTHER ONEโ! Picture this: itโs 1982, and Scott Fahlman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon, thinks heโs being a comedian ๐คก. Little did he know, he was about to create an empire of goofy faces! After his colleagues ๐ค seriously flopped on a joke involving mercury (I mean, what were they SMOKINโ?!), Fahlman thought it would be a BRILLIANT idea to suggest using โ:-)โ for humor. ๐๐ฐ This was the real-life version of โhold my beerโ ๐บ and watch me create the emoji universe! ๐ Now weโre drowning in an ocean of emojis like a toddler in a ball pit โ *kawaii*, *UwU*, and don't get me started on those cringe TikTok filters. Real stonks moment! ๐๐ Leaked convo from a disgruntled techie: "Scott, you realize emojis are now ruining our communication, right? My mom uses them like a toddler with finger paints!" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ So, whatโs next? I predict weโll see a renaissance of ASCII art that takes over Zoom meetings, where every presentation is just a bunch of ASCII cats crying because we didnโt buy the dip. ๐ค๐ Get ready, fam! The meme war is upon us, and emojis are the new currency! ๐ธ๐ฃ
