In life you either cry, laugh, love or succumb to raging nationalism.
Or, in case of Japan, sparkle
Well they did get their data from geotagged tweets, which I imagine skews the results just a bit towards nationalism.
Unless you’re Poland
Poland’s most used emoji being Ukrainian flag is kinda hilarious.
not really, lots of family across these borders
Data was likely sourced during the war, and Poland is one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine (in part because they fear they might be next)
On Twitter …
Having geotag enabled. How stupid are people? Protect your data folks.
What we really want to know is which country has the most use of the eggplant emoji 🍆
I can’t believe there’s no 💀
Genz won’t be a majority for another couple decades. Millennials and older don’t use it as much.
💀
Antarctica: 🥶
It’s also the cry-laugh emoji but the tears froze on the face.
I want to know why Trinidad, indonesia, Uruguay and Chile have 🤣 where as most of the world does 😂
It’s the italicized version
Normal: 🤣😂
Italicized: 🤣😂

This might be one of the worst designed maps I have ever seen…
looks like (of course there are exceptions to these observations): those with a laughing face live in a media landscape mostly dominated by the people, those with praying hands, are places where mostly the theocracy have the phones, hearts mean the government has the mainhand in this and are trying to deflect of some shit, and finally, no fucking clue what the fuck japan is doing… but i dont want to go to antigua and barbuda, pray laos is allright and hope kuwait finds its place
India and Nepal praying hands 🙏 were expected, Venezuela was not what I expected.
How does the UK have the ❤️ but only northern island had it and the rest of the uk was 😂.
it’s an example of simpson’s paradox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_paradox
a worked example: if england/scotland/wales all use heart ❤️ 49% and use tears of joy 😂 at 51%, and then northern ireland was to use heart ❤️at 100%, you can imagine this would tip the whole uk over
even more freaky, you could make all 4 constituent countries use heart ❤️ at 49%, make each constituent use a different unique emoji 👍😀🥰😼 at 51% each, and then the aggregate would show that heart ❤️ 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 😂 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 😂 ❤️
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.
Japan
How’d they find out the north Korea one?
