Hey...

Last night, I discovered the "animoji" function on my iPhone...

My Animoji says "Hey!"

I thought you and Meade-man were dog people...

Ha Ha!

It is fun when you discover something for yourself.

Personally, those things are annoying as hell to me.

Someone was paid to create that. Isn't capitalism grand.

I just don't get emojis.

I see Twitter posts with a long string of them. I suspect they mean something but I can't be bothered to figure it out. I prefer words.

No need for you to explain because your avatar is the emoji for "Get OFF My Lawn!"

A kind of hieroglyphs, shortcuts depicting emotions or a substitute for a word.

💩

Of course it has to be apple... the ultimate success story in lefty capitalism dominance.

Now to find a use for it...

I thought the original commercial with that woman singing was cute but figured that’s about all it was good for.

"I just don't get emojis."

Let's not talk about emojis, the static images. The new topic here is animojis. You have to click the image and play it.

I have one I put together in an attempt to resemble myself. and I use it rarely for my son. It says, “Dead in a ditch, or alive in a cell?”.

That's just plain creepy!

You need to have a new enough phone, I think. Like X. One with facial recognition.

It's all fun and games until you wake up from a deep sleep where you were Anne Althouse, get up and walk over to your bathroom sink and see that emoji face staring back at you.

madAsHell said...

Oh my!! You made your living selling the constitution, and now you want to express (self-identify?) yourself as a 14-year-old girl.

Just sayin'.....it's incongruous.

Temujin said...

Hmm. I just realized I spelled Ann Althouse as Anne. I guess reading this blog for what must be 10 years is not enough for me to get it right.
This is what happens when you don't sleep.

Sounds like a decent premise for an episode of "Black Mirror"

You know what would be great? an emoji of the old Microsoft talking PaperClip on your iPhone.

If it were about leftism then why isn't Europe running the world instead of us?

You realize once you've given them your face they can now follow you wherever you go, right?

Animojis are so much fun.

Scott said...

Its facial twitches suggest that it has some kind of neurological disorder. So sad.

Chuck said...

What is the technical answer here, particularly with iPhones? What phone/OS is needed for this? Is it an app, or is it included with the phone?

My curiosity is almost entirely technical, because this seems somehow so disturbing to me. I'm not a person who has a fear or revulsion of clowns; but as for animojis, I'm still thinking about it.

Congrats, it’s why I bought it. Don’t think to use it much now though, will be interested to know if same happens for you.
