What it does

Monica Dinculescu

You know the scenes in Friends when Ross starts talking about dinosaurs and he’s SUPER excited but everyone else is losing the will to live? This is basically that, only instead of dinosaurs, it’s emoji, and unlike Ross, I have never successfully befriended a monkey. Last month, my coworker casually told me he still has a 2001 era DoCoMo phone, which is one of the first phones to have emoji (🤓🤓🤓: emoji first appeared in 1999, on DoCoMo phones, and DoCoMo phones alone). So I got ahold of this phone. Which charged, turned on and most importantly, TOTALLY had OG emoji: I then took a 10 hour flight to Europe and, for lack of better things to do while watching every movie that came out this…from meowni.ca
