> In 2018 Google open-sourced the Quickdraw data set. “The world's largest doodling data set”. The set consists of 345 categories and over 15 million drawings. For obvious reasons the data set was missing a few specific categories that people enjoy drawing.

This is similar to how there are emoji for eyes, hands, feet, hearts, anatomical hearts, lungs, ears, etc.
But not a single emoji about genitals. Not even boobs.
- saagarjha 6y agoOf course, people make do anyways.
- est31 6y agoIndeed they do. People always did. No "no dating colleauges" rule will prevent colleagues from developing crushes and dating each other.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoTruly. Your described scenario is how I met my partner of nearly six years.
- gowld 6y agoThe founders of 3 of the top 4 US companies (by market cap), married or had a long-term dating relationship with a subordinate employee. The 4th married a student he met while giving a guest lecture and then asked on a date in the parking lot afterward. The 5th and 6th were dating their spouses before founding their companies. The 7th and 8th were over 100 years ago so the history is too hard for me to track.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoI'm not sure what you're implying, but it doesn't seem positive. Forgive me if I'm mis-interpreting things. We were in separate departments and hierarchy was not an issue. We've been together so long for love, nothing else...
- nitrogen 6y agoThe way I read it is that the rule doesn't always reflect 100% of reality.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoI think I can see your interpretation, but others seem to have read it the way I did and decided not to believe me, so I'm not sure where it falls. Just tried to insert a happy comment into the chain. Oh well :/
- astatine 6y agoSo, you are #1,2 or 3?
- WarOnPrivacy 6y ago> No "no dating colleauges" rule will prevent colleagues from developing crushes and dating each other. Or prevent employees from being harassed who just want to work w/o getting hit on for the bazillionth time.
- shekelstein45 6y agoAt least you won't need to worry about the possibility of a follow-up, with that attitude.
- est31 6y agoA workplace where people only want to work instead of being comfortable enough to make new connections (of any kind) is a bad workplace. You should be able to make new friends, increase your network, and have a good time collaborating. I feel sorry for anyone who is in such an environment, especially when they are being approached constantly in bad ways on top of it (let alone harassed). So many things have gone wrong then. The workplace is still a workplace, not a dating machine, so people need to adjust their behaviors to the environment. Most people can manage to do this.
- WarOnPrivacy 6y ago> The workplace is still a workplace, not a dating machine, so people need to adjust their behaviors to the environment. Most people can manage to do this. Presently, women can expect mistreatment in their workspace. This has an unbroken reality for generations. While women are living with that reality, this very minute, it's not clear that workplace friendships are in any meaningful danger.
- jschwartzi 6y agoThose rules are mainly to provide grounds for firing people that let their romantic relationships cause problems at work.
- some_furry 6y ago> This is similar to how there are emoji for eyes, hands, feet, hearts, anatomical hearts, lungs, ears, etc. Yes, because none of the things on that list have ever been sexualized before. Nope, none of them.
- cmpb 6y agoWhat about https://www.revk.uk/2018/10/unicode-dicks.html?m=1 https://www.revk.uk/2018/10/unicode-dicks.html?m=1
- levosmetalo 6y ago𓂸
- beatrobot 6y agoThere's no emoji but the unicode codepoint U+130B8 exists.
- bashinator 6y agoThis must be one of the few unicode codepoints whose search results include urbandictionary.com
- jrockway 6y agoI am not sure it's worth reading into what there are and aren't emojis of. There is an emoji of the Tokyo Tower, but not one of the Eiffel Tower. It isn't because the Tokyo Tower is more important than the Eiffel Tower, it's because the set is based on a random collection of pictures that Japanese cell phone carriers created over the years. (e = picture, moji = letter, that's where the word came from. A "false friend" with emoticon, interestingly.) When creating this collection, they missed a lot of stuff. It was never intended to be a complete set of all symbols that a human might need. Some guy at some phone company just made them. The attempts to add a handful of new characters with each new Unicode version don't improve much. People seem to be using the eggplant emoji as a standin for a penis. It gets the message across, apparently.
- james_s_tayler 6y agoThere is an emoji for love hotels.
- gowld 6y agohaha, https://www.dictionary.com/e/emoji/love-hotel/ https://www.dictionary.com/e/emoji/love-hotel/ > The love hotel or heart hospital emoji depicts a building with both a pink heart and on some platforms the letter H emblazoned on the front. It is mostly used in reference to hospitals and health as well as to vacation resorts. https://emojipedia.org/love-hotel/ https://emojipedia.org/love-hotel/ > A love hotel is a hotel that can be hired by the hour instead of as accommodation for the evening. Sometimes mistaken for a get well soon emoji due to the similarity in appearance to the hospital.
- ccktlmazeltov 6y agolooks like I can't display it here
- throwaway49872 6y ago> It isn't because the Tokyo Tower is more important than the Eiffel Tower That's debatable.
- smichel17 6y agoThere's also no emoji showing a reaction of compassion/sympathy.
- kbenson 6y agoIsn't that just covered by any of the various sad emojis when someone tells you something like that? Compassion/sympathy can be viewed as a contextualized version of sadness. Person 1: I just lost my job. Person 2: :(
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoI have a friend who uses the sad emoji when I say I’m not feeling good. It kind of makes me feel like I’m making her feel sad by telling her. It would be nice if there was emoji of two people embracing or something.
- detaro 6y agoThere is "Hugging Face", but it looks just weird (IMHO) and I don't know many people using it. https://emojipedia.org/hugging-face/ https://emojipedia.org/hugging-face/
- Thlom 6y agoThat looks more like it's communicating heartfelt happiness or something. I've never understood it as a hugging face ...
- cmrx64 6y agoI've talked some friends into using <3 instead of :( to express sympathy, for exactly this reason.
- forty 6y agoIf it's your friend, doesn't it make sense that she would feel sad when your are not feeling well? Empathy is being able to feel someone else pain.
- jazzyjackson 6y agoWell there are eggplants, peaches and melons of course, but outside of emoji, there is also unicode for egyptian hieroglyphs breast (U+13091 U+13092 𓂑 𓂒) and phallus (U+130B9 and U+130BA 𓂹 𓂺) Gasp! I just learned the phallus heiroglyphs are missing from the fonts on my windows box! Even U+130B8 𓂸 which isn't even a penis, it's just a somewhat phallic finger. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Breast_(hieroglyph) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Breast_(hierogly... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Phallus_(hieroglyph) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Phallus_(hierogl... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs_(Unicode_block) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs_(Unicode_...
- penagwin 6y agoI'll just comment for those curious, I do see all of them on my iPhone.
- dmurray 6y agoI see them all on Chrome on Android.
- monocasa 6y agoI see them on Firefox Android
- peanutz454 6y agoYep you are right. What is 𓂹 the deal with the walking stick like thing though?
- BolexNOLA 6y agoDon’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to.
- FragenAntworten 6y agoApparently that's a folded cloth. I haven't been able to discover why. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptian_hieroglyphs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptian_hieroglyphs https://twitter.com/linguopunk/status/1062616416602480642 https://twitter.com/linguopunk/status/1062616416602480642
- polishdude20 6y agoI've got a card game website like jackbox where you can draw your avatar. The amount of penises people draw is surprisingly pretty low. We've got a gallery page showing all of the avatars drawn to date here: http://those.codes/gallery http://those.codes/gallery
- Retric 6y agoI don’t know, across a few pages I saw 4. So around 5% penises which seems like a lot considering how many other shapes people can draw.
- polishdude20 6y agoHaha true. Although I would have expected there would be some trolls who just flood the gallery.
- coldtea 6y ago>This is similar to how there are emoji for eyes, hands, feet, hearts, anatomical hearts, lungs, ears, etc. But not a single emoji about genitals. Not even boobs. So, basically protestant puritanism?
- jshevek 6y agoIn this era of global communication, I think the Protestant mores may be less important, relatively, than they once were. Edit: US based companies appear to me to at least as concerned with new markets than existing markers. In some cases, China and the middle east are the regions which motivate 'puritanical' discretion, not the US.
- monadic2 6y agoMaybe on the Internet, but Protestant values still rule America.
- coldtea 6y agoYeah, but they who make the software/social platforms also makes the decisions, and those are usually US companies. So even here in Europe we're imposed with US-based morals ("Oh, some nudity in a post photo! Bad! Censored, what would the advertisers say"), whereas in our own culture, left to its own devices, we could not care less about such things... Isn't this the era of the scale down of globalism though? (Trump, Brexit, US-China trade war, etc)
- franga2000 6y agoMaybe not protestant directly these days, but American puritanism is very much still very much alive and influencing technology. I doubt Facebook bans people for posting even slight nudity even in private groups just because of other countries.
