Apple has announced their top 10 emojis and they include red heart, loudly crying face, heart eyes face, kissing face, rolling eyes face, skull, smiling face with smiling eyes, weary face, and thinking face. But the most used emoji by a landslide is the tears of joy emoji, which is a face laughing with tears coming out of their eyes because they are so overwhelmed by joy.
This list shows that we’re all liars. How many times in real life have you laughed so hard that actual tears of joy pour down your face this year? Once? Twice? A half of a dozen times at most? How many times have you received a text or saw something online and reacted by posting the tears of joy emoji this year? 500? 5,000? 50,000? Fuck, you probably reacted to a single “Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys” meme with a string of 11 crying laughing emojis. I bet you barely crack a smirk IRL, but you react by claiming that you’re laughing so hard that your body is so overcome with joy that your tear ducts are forced to release liquid otherwise you’ll burst with euphoria. If you were physically laughing with tears as much as you use tears of joy emojis your family would advocate that you undergo a psychological evaluation.
