    i mean most emojis aren’t emotions, they’re just… things…

    what emotion does a bus have? the joy of not having to sit in traffic?

      Yes there’s a long list of country flags and currency symbols and other shit in there too but lets not pretend like adding all that crap changed the fact that these are commonly used for expression. Does a cup of coffee have an emotion? Actually it kinda can, yeah, in the right situation. Let’s not even get into what people make of eggplants and popcorn tubs.
