Surprised that thumbs up isnβt the most popular somewhere π
Reminder that "national boundaries with mercator projection" maps are, while on the surface interesting, on a meaningful enough level are less useful due to sheer degree of variance. Small (sized) countries get buried to thr point of not being visible, while large (populated) countries get over-generalised to the point of meaninglessness.
How'd they find out the north Korea one?
This graph was made from geotagged tweets.
Presumably that's why the flags are so popular as well, I doubt Belgians are sending Belgian flags to one another in the DM's. Or maybe they do, I wouldn't know.
I was thinking this exact thing.
Yeah far right nationalism definitely is a thing but I don't remember ever seeing someone texting the flag and I know quite a few nationalists.
I want to know why Trinidad, indonesia, Uruguay and Chile have π€£ where as most of the world does π
It's the italicized version
Normal: π€£π
Italicized: π€£π
Japan has the only semi-interesting one.
Kuwait has something unique too π
And Laos π₯°
What is it and why do they use it?
Damn Poland okay
Shout out to all the tiny islands who apparently do nothing but send their own flag to each other all day. We see you lite buddies.
I don't think I have ever sent a flag. So it's wild to me.
Rip france πΏ
I can't believe there's no π
Genz won't be a majority for another couple decades. Millennials and older don't use it as much.

India and Nepal praying hands π were expected, Venezuela was not what I expected.
How does the UK have the β€οΈ but only northern island had it and the rest of the uk was π.
it's an example of simpson's paradox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox
a worked example: if england/scotland/wales all use heart β€οΈ 49% and use tears of joy π at 51%, and then northern ireland was to use heart β€οΈat 100%, you can imagine this would tip the whole uk over
even more freaky, you could make all 4 constituent countries use heart β€οΈ at 49%, make each constituent use a different unique emoji πππ₯°πΌ at 51% each, and then the aggregate would show that heart β€οΈ is still the most used across the UK
now consider for each place on this map, they are ranking more than just 2 emojis. the map itself says that tears of joy π is only scoring 5% worldwide, and that's 1st place. with margins of 5% and under to be deemed winner, it's no wonder funky effects show up
Thanks for this. If you know then you know.
Statistics scare me π β€οΈ
Volume. They only use heart emojis in morse code to communicate all their messages in NI. Also the entire government website and all companies start and end their webpage with a mandatory 600-heart header/footer, for security.
I love how they've given Ireland the most weight in the UK by far for some reason.. π
