No. You can't smell over the Internet, anyway.

No, because I don't have a nose.

:3

:3 looks likes it needs a snoot to boop though :3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Could be something smellier tho, it looks like an ass

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Well I like asses too, so ...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I always felt like the smiling emoticon looks a little cheeky when it has a nose: :-)

So, sometimes I use it precisely for that purpose, like when I'm making a cheeky joke, but yeah, usually I'm using :) and similar instead.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Usually not :) But I prefer to use to use emojis anyway 🤷 🫴 It just feels like progress, no more ascii workarounds ⬆️

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

ASCII is a like


a state of mind, man! :-)

Sometimes. :)

Sometimes not. :^)

I use a nose on this one

:-/

Cause it looks weird without it

:/

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I jist make his eyes bigger =/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Sometimes. I like :^)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ain't nobody got time for that

I feel like emoticon use tells your age. Old people use noses. Regular people use no noses. Young people use emoji 🤮

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's everyone else that's weird, ok?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The most "complete"/full body one that I ever use still doesn't include a nose, so no:

Nose is such a weird thing in emoji and it's too big anyway. Unless it's indicating smell or something i wouldn't use it. ¯\_( ´ _ `)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes. :)

Wait... no. :-o

I am not sure anymore. ( • - • ) ...

Sometimes...

The thing that bothered me was my left-handed friend who typed them "backwards"

(-:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

not usually :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I read years and years ago that a study was done, that when confronted with emoji (then called emoticons), a viewer felt a stronger attachment to those with a nose :-/ than one without a nose :/

Since then, always noses for me! :-#

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

On some I do, but mostly no.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I always thought this one looked goofy as hell:

:-)

[–] RedStrider 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

aaaa spelling mistake in title

Do you use noses on you emoticons?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

:) for monospaced fonts and :-) for variable-width fonts.

Is that even an option? I do not currently, but it seems like a good n thing to enable on your spouse's phone...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

They don't mean emojis: 🙂 🫤 ☹️
but rather emoticons: :) :/ :(

And there you can have noses: :-) :-/ :-(

My classmate once sent me this: ÷)

Honestly took me a while for me to undestand what it is

Is that a dildo section cupped to the forehead?
