Why is facebook’s grimace so horrifying?
They said no I don’t think just not having lips is terrifying enough, and gave it depth so it feels like it could just bite you at any moment.
It’s so fucking cursed…
It looks like it has one of those mouth guards in that dentists use to whiten teeth
Reminds me of the overbite Winnie the Pooh meme face with those teeth
WhatsApp is not its own company, it belongs to Facebook/Meta.
Also, on that topic, you could do the same thing you did with X/Twitter to Meta/Facebook.
*edit: Oh, and of course Alphabet/Google. Curious how many big tech companies seem keen on obfuscating their own name these days…
Facebook the product is still called Facebook, Google the product is still called Google. It’s only the parent companies that changed their names, their products kept the same branding.
Twitter the product has been, or is being, rebranded as X along with the company.
But this is about companies, not products or brand names.
The URL is still twitter, so that’s what it is.
I deadname corporations run by transphobes
Another good reason.
Facebook and WhatsApp are both owned by Meta – why on Earth do they use two different emoji fonts?
Facebook and WhatsApp were separate apps until Facebook bought WhatsApp. That’s why there’s so much difference in the design language, functionality, etc.

You can see the difference between the Apple and WhatsApp version. And I have Whatsapp installed on Android and it looks the same as the WhatsApp Emoji in the picture.
So it doesn’t use the System Style, WhatsApp has its own IOS looking emojis.

Meta is the name of the company. Facebook is the product made by the company. I acknowledged that in the comment you’re replying to.
Honorable mention: Samsung 😬
Porky Minch ass looking mfer.
That’s not how emojis work. They look different for everybody. It all depends on how the client renders Unicode character U+1F62C. Just like text.
Try it out. Find a PC with a web browser and find your comment and emoji, and see how it looks on a different platform.
Oh, yeah, I know how emojis work using unicode, I just didn’t bother to attach an image of the Samsung 😬 emoji for laziness reasons (I myself don’t have a Samsung Smartphone either.)
I’m sorry, I should have done that, now I have made myself look like a fool :')
Oh shit my bad, I was being a nerd. 🤓
Haha no problem. We all are nerds around here, otherwise we’d probably be using Instagram and TikTok (and Reddit).
Funny back story: I first learned about Unicode around 2013 - 15 (I always judge those wrong in terms of when I started using certain apps/sites)… Back then people would start commenting shit on YouTube using emoji but Firefox hadn’t introduced emoji support yet, causing them to be displayed as Unicode strings which lead to comments looking like this: “Hahaha, haven’t laughed like this in ages U+1F602 Best video ever U+2764”
msn:
Facebook’s looks just a tiny bit too realistic.
they really got that just-dipped-my-balls-in-the-unidentifiable-buffet-soup-and-it-was-scorching kinda look to em
Yeah, Facebook’s one is really getting into uncanny valley territory. Especially those teeth…
Is my group of friends and I the only ones who use that emoji as kind of “fuck yeah” or “yes please”?
Because I don’t think this meme is meant that way 🤔
Yes, I would be very confused if you sent me one that way
Interesting, we use it in a way like we would use this gif:
As a way of saying yes a bit too excitedly, leaning into craziness. 😅

Near miss. GIMP on Ubuntu, and the emojis originate from here. Just for fun I tried to match the gradient of the image featured in the article, instead of pasting the emojis one by one.
Just fooling around here. I’m completely with you
Are you OP, or how do you know this?
I guess he doesn’t know about Lemmy’s image compression. Oh well, In case someone truly wants a high res version of this masterpiece, here it is.
Sweet, thanks! I think the original looks just fine tbh, but my eyesight’s not the greatest :P
