Who here knows what O.o means?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It means confuse/bewildered

To me it means "I take particular notice of this"

Such as,

[Third world country]: holy crap guys I struck oil!
[United States of America]: 👀

Every small time regional band on social media

"👀 Watch this space! Big surprises coming!"

Oh, did you guys write a few more songs? Did you get that gig at the county fair? THATS WHAT THE FUCK BANDS DO! Just fucking tell us when the new thing happens. I don't have the bandwidth to remember that you guys have another self produced album of mediocre bar rock coming out.

I'm out of touch with THE YOUTH and I have no idea why you youngins use 😭 to convey any and every emotion possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Just use merman. Merman means everything.

This is the correct answer

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

it just means "looking" idk what's so hard about it.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My co-workers tell me it's either "that's interesting," i.e. it drew their attention; or just that they're looking at something. For example, if I provide a link to a ticket, they're indicating that they received the link and have clicked or will click it to look at it.

I have also seen one person use it like the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when using a messenger that did not support embedded images.

Pretty widely understood at my last two companies to mean something like "looking into this" or "taking a look." Basically just a quick acknowledgment to let the person asking the question know that they can probably expect a response from that person soon, and lets others know that someone's already on it so we don't duplicate effort.

I always assumed this was a common usage on Slack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Same in my company. Acknowledging that you've seen the message and are looking into it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's how I would have interpreted it, as well, but I've seen it used in situations where that didn't seem fitting so I asked.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I'm enjoying what Sync made of this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh god, it looks like it's about to sing.

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

Help me, Dr Zaius!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I like that it has perspective. A rarity among emojis

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I like yours more than voyagers rendition

Yours has the air of a stupid lovecraftian being, my spirit animal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yours is more accurate however.

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

Yeah but what good is that when yours is funnier
