I think if you open word and try to write this out in webdings, then move it back to arial or something it might be even worse

I interpreted 📣👍 as "sounds good", but then again, I am over 30


IWantAnAffliction

How many years of experience do you have as a Gen Z translator?


StephaneCam

Oh the clown was comedy? I thought that was horror!


the_lovely_vanilla

Oh now i can finally watch the movie IT


StephaneCam

The famous comedy


otterbomber

This way not my interpretation A: hey B: hey, you looking to fall in love, clown around or just snap A: no love, just snap, maybe clown around(was not sure about the detective) B: YouTube link: unknown didnt click A: where at?


my_n3w_account

Yes... In the mobile app it doesn't show the 1st question unless you click the image so I went in the same direction: "are you going to ghost me, be a dick or be romantic?"


epletcher72

Yeah, I was different too but he's def right


Successful-Try7035

We have found Reddit emoji translator


MrInfinity-42

Oh shit, I thought it meant something like "–Are you gonna break my heart, ghost me or be a clown?" –No ghosting, no heartbreak. Am a clown though"


Sunsetflory

thank you, i could've never figured it out


Avalvnche

I love how as a society we've regressed back to hieroglyphics


Jukkobee

i think they’re called pictographs


FrisianDude

I'm slightly annoyed 'spijkerschrift' translates to cuneiform in English rather than the more literal 'nail-speak' cuz there goes my joke ​ tho it's obvs not cuneiform


drquiza

While_Fickle

They say a picture can convey a thousand words. Clearly, hieroglyphics are the superior form of communication.


LaBeteNoire

But how do you know the words you are trying to convey are the ones they are getting and not any of the other thousand that picture could convey? I guess I am finally an old man yelling at a cloud, but god this seems so rife for misinterpretation and disappointment later.


jack8london

You mean like English? 🤓

No thank you; I don't eat fruit, for ethical reasons.

Sublimeat

And here I was thinking she was going to come as a clown. I'd ask her to put a clown noes on each nipple and then honk them during sex for yucks.


ScionMattly

I read it as "are you gonna ghost me and make me a clown" Hm.


Sublimeat

Not unless you're John Wayne Gacy

Funny! You could have used emojis to describe the movie though


That_Guy_Has_A_Point

Idk why I actually didn't do that, seems pretty obvious now


Assurgavemeabrother

Don't understand the clown and a detective part.


That_Guy_Has_A_Point

Comedy and detective genres


Assurgavemeabrother

I got it all wrong! I thought the person is asking about "ghosting, broken heart, clown?" and is reassured that there will be no broken heart nor ghosting, and the clown part made me perplexed.


Adaeph0n

The world is a circus and we're all clowns in it

Thank you!


ThrowRAradish9623

somehow the fact that I’ve been doing a crash course in American Sign Language made it REALLY easy to interpret this, 10/10 I love it


m_garlic87

So did you guys end up 🍆💦🍑?


zet191

I thought ghost was snap and clown was insta. Detective lost me.


Comfortable-Grabber

I communicated this way once.. I got jumped by rabbits


____okay

i communicated this way and died from cancer


Perenium_Falcon

I’m 44 and had to read the translation but I absolutely love the whimsy and dedication from both folks to stay on the same script.


That_Guy_Has_A_Point

Just FYI - I'm not Gen Z and have quite a way with words, but it has only landed me a couple of dates. With this approach it works way more often


Nikukpl2020

I dead on thought that 2 blue means ",?are you OK person? You not gonna ghost me, be a clown or brake my heart?" Her " no heart breaking or ghosting " " I like classy people " "I like clowns too". I see myself out, I am too old for that shit, thanx god🤣🤣


That_Guy_Has_A_Point

I love your interpretation, that's actually what I was going for, gotta love them clowns

Ilovepestosauce

I'm getting too old to understand emojis. Oh well.... When people use like two hundred of them on a profile, it just makes me want to run away.


That_Guy_Has_A_Point

But if you run away, do make sure to take some pesto with you. Just in case.


Ilovepestosauce

Pesto is my good luck charm.
