With these latest additions, they already add 136,690 characters, according to the Consortium data so it seems the perfect time to make a collection of the most absurd or less used emojis in history. These are 11 of the worst emoticons although, like all of them, it is an incomplete list and surely many other horrible emojis that you have never resorted to come to mind.


Because at this point, who has never used emojis, those faces and symbols with which we express feelings such as joy, sadness, surprise or disappointment in our WhatsApp messages or any other instant messaging app? If you are one of those who have hyperactive thumbs and cannot stop updating their profiles on social networks, you will know that the emojis that appear below have not found their place in online conversations.

Oni

Japanese red faces:


The first is Oni, Japanese ogre, and there is another one that means Tengu.Both are typical creatures of Japanese folklore, that do not serve to express anything in the rest of the world.However, you can check that we all have them among our WhatsApp emojis, although we will not use them unless we move to the Japanese country.

Floppy disk

Floppy disk:

Private

Private message:


In principle, the existence of this emoji may make some sense but does anyone send a emoticon of a locked padlock with a pen on it by WhatsApp or Facebook to warn that it is a private message ? At least, it seems hard to believe.

Cats

Cat faces:


For some strange reason, someone thought that as people love cats and their videos on YouTube would rather express their emotions or thoughts with feline faces , but luckily or unfortunately we are human.It is not very practical to send your friends a face of a distressed cat if we intend to relate it to our mood.


The 11 most absurd emojis ever

Zombie

Zombies:


If we already had enough emojis that nobody knows when or how to use , the new Baking comes with more desire.Among the novelties, we find some zombies that can be interesting if we want to tell our partner how we are doing tomorrow at work after a concert night, but we all know that at that time we wouldn't think to review the emoticon gallery.

Mermaid

Mermaids (and mermaids):

Finally, this new addition to the most used category of emojis, that of the faces, has called us a lot of attention: the emoticon with a circle.What will happen with it? Will we find a meaning to its existence or will it be forgotten? Well, only time can give us the answer.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way.

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
