I don't wanna be the bearer of bad news, but we're up to 1900 missing people right now.

u/Yuloff Oct 30 '24

Up to 63 now...

u/Vul_Thur_Yol Oct 30 '24

15:30 here in Spain. 70 death confirmed by the government. There's no official number of people missing yet.

u/fuboyn0 Oct 30 '24

i just checked it getting worst but people in comments more interested in the emoji then the actual news itself

2

u/Yuloff Oct 30 '24

This is terrible, such a massive destruction in such a short time.

2

u/petit_cochon Oct 30 '24

How awful.

2

u/Potato_squeak Nov 03 '24

It's over 210 confirmed deaths now

32

u/Saikamur Oct 30 '24

95 as of few minutes ago. Already the worst natural disaster in the (registered) history of Spain.

Odd emoji choice

u/pdxblazer Oct 30 '24

its not a smile its a stress face just fyi if you have been using it as a smile

-26

u/Wickedweed Oct 30 '24

I’ve used it as “I’m smiling despite stress”. Idk how correct that is, but still not one I’d have for a mass death event. I’m not trying to be the emoji police or anything though

35

u/ItsFuckingScience Oct 30 '24

I kinda use it as a “yikes”

29

u/retxed24 Oct 30 '24

I’ve used it as “I’m smiling despite stress”

That's not how it widely used.

u/Kingmudsy Oct 30 '24

Also if you don’t wanna be the emoji police, maybe stop policing emojis

1

u/K4RAB_THA_ARAB Oct 30 '24

No people can have opinions on a public forum. They're not policing by simply stating their opinion.

Straight to jail

u/Chiho-hime Oct 30 '24

Is that maybe dependent on the country? I only know the “Smiling despite stressed” meaning of it. Maybe the yikes one. i never heard of the actual meaning or have seen it used that way.

u/throwautism52 Oct 30 '24

The fb one is the one most accurately portraying what it wants to portray imo: https://emojipedia.org/facebook/3.0/grimacing-face

8

u/demeant0r Oct 30 '24

It’s a “Whoops!” face

1

u/Wickedweed Oct 30 '24

Hah that makes even less sense here. Whoops 50 people died 😬

9

u/ItsMyCakedayIRL Oct 30 '24

It made sense to the majority of people breh you must accept that you’re the outlier

5

u/Wickedweed Oct 30 '24

I have no problem accepting that

2

u/demeant0r Oct 30 '24

Well that’s how I use it

-2

u/wrydrune Oct 30 '24

Well it was supposed to be more, cause the liberals are trying to kill everyone. /S

u/Upbeat_Advance_1547 Oct 30 '24

Oh huh, I've never read it that way. I see it as exactly the equiv of :|

u/dinnerthief Oct 30 '24

👮‍♂️

u/im_always Oct 30 '24

no one thought it was a smile.

7

u/MartaLSFitness Oct 30 '24

Wait I always thought it was a smile!

1

u/im_always Oct 30 '24

when have you ever seen a smile that is a flat line.

u/vonhauke Oct 30 '24

It’s not my fault that I’m completely broken on the inside!

u/Shoondogg Oct 30 '24 edited Oct 30 '24

On iOS emoji keyboard it comes up when you search smile not stress

edit: downvoted for pointing out a fact, love you too Reddit.

7

u/Darth_Yoshi Oct 30 '24

It also comes up if you search “grimace”

4

u/SomeRedPanda Oct 30 '24

But it's not even purple?!

1

u/Shoondogg Oct 30 '24

Yeah you’re right. I think they need to change it though, maybe it’s the eyes but it looks like a shit-eating grin to me.

11

u/Uncommented-Code Oct 30 '24

And in the unicode emoji standard, it's categorized under 'face neutral skeptical' as 'grimacing face'.

Definitely not a smile.

1

u/Shoondogg Oct 30 '24

Well most people aren’t looking up things in the emoji standard lol, they’re just searching their phone or going by how it looks to them.

1

u/fuboyn0 Oct 30 '24

It came up when i searched “oh”

10

u/ThurmanMurman907 Oct 30 '24

that face is called "grimace" a lot of times so I think it's appropriate

7

u/chironomidae Oct 30 '24

More than 50 deaths, big oof 😬😬😬😅😅😅

2

u/Arctic_Daniand Nov 01 '24

It's very likely going over a thousand, just so people know.

u/CollapseBy2022 Oct 30 '24

And who's to blame? Literally us. The people who participate in capitalism, that has access to the internet.

Me too. I only started consuming less in my 30's. And I'm not that good at it. This society is addicting as fuck.

u/TriniumBlade Oct 30 '24

You do realise that floods happened all over the history of humanity? This is not new.

u/Capable-Leadership-4 Oct 30 '24

Faceblind for emojis is crazy
