There is only one amphibian emoji
- deepsun 2y agoAnd why dinosaurs are in reptiles, but birds are not?
- geoffreypoirier 2y agoBecause they are not real.
- timeon 2y agoThere are also some overlaps between mammal and marine. (And mammal is missing human).
- bww 2y ago> You'll notice I added four "food" emojis: the crab, shrimp, squid, and lobster. I have no idea why they were assigned "food-marine" instead of "animal-marine". They look happy, healthy, and uncooked. On Apple platforms, at least, all the crustaceans mentioned are red and therefore look very much cooked.
- pelagicAustral 2y agoYou can, however, eat crab, shrimp, squid and lobster without cooking them...
- drjasonharrison 2y agoIf these animals are eaten raw after "it has been frozen at -18’C for a minimum period of 14 days". AKA "sashimi quality" Otherwise you are risking serious illness. From either pathogens of marine origin or later handling. Crab: parasitic flukes (liver flukes and lung flukes), roundworms (e.g. Angiostrongylus cantonensis) and tapeworms (e.g. Diphyllobothrium spp.). Viruses: norovirus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Lobsters: Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholera. Shrimp and Squid: many of the same.

- sharpshadow 2y agoA Japanese YouTuber which shows how to filet fish usually eats a slice of everything raw and gets sick regularly. But he can’t resist to try it.
- littlestymaar 2y agoHe's lucky to be able to do it more than once. A friend's cousin got acute reaction from pathogens in raw fish which got him to ICU and now the doctor said he should avoid eating even cooked fish because he could do an allergic reaction.

- dietrichepp 2y agoIt’s a common misconception that dragons are reptiles. The are actually mammals. For some reason, historical depictions of dragons depict them with scales—this is inaccurate, real dragons have fur, give live birth, and even produce milk. I think the misconception of dragons as reptilian has an origin in early European depictions of dragons. Dragons are not native to most parts of Europe so we can assume that the artists never saw a real dragon. You can see similar inaccuracies in depictions of other animals, like lions, leopards, beavers, and elephants. You’d think the Unicode consortium would know better. Dinosaurs are also miscategorized as reptilian but I can understand the mistake, because dinosaurs are extinct.
- FoeNyx 2y ago> Dinosaurs are also miscategorized as reptilian but I can understand the mistake, because dinosaurs are extinct. Birds (Aves) are dinosaurs (Dinosauria), and dinosaurs are reptiles (Reptilia).

- owenpalmer 2y agoSorry, as an AI language model, I'm not able to generate an emoji of the "September 11 attacks"
- jncfhnb 2y agoFlux got you though
- Flop7331 2y agoThis is the kind of bad idea that I want to see.

- moralestapia 2y agoAn axolotl emoji is desperately needed, then :).
- Flop7331 2y agoThat was going to be my suggestion as well. They're popular and recognizable.

- jurassicfoxy 2y agoI just want to say, I love emojis. I wish there were thousands more. I love the artistry, the stylistic differences between platforms. I love the way their meaning changes with the times. I love it all.
- lelandfe 2y agoThey have also become an online lingua franca. You'll see this a lot on TikTok, which autotranslates captions, descriptions, and even static or dynamic text within the videos. Emojis allow users viewing these autotranslated posts to communicate to the poster in a comprehensible manner (even if that's just "this is funny" or "I love this") Emojis are really great.
- codeflo 2y agoIt’s a regression to hieroglyphics. Six thousand years of cultural evolution down the drain.
- shagie 2y agoHieroglyphics were (mostly) phonetic. You can do a 1:1 mapping of hieroglyphics to Ancient Greek (with a few exceptions) - Carl Sagan Videos: Cosmic Rosetta Stone - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xeryd2 https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xeryd2 Emoji are entirely ideograms.
- 4gotunameagain 2y agoTechnically they are pictograms, as ideograms refer to more abstract concepts (with some exceptions e.g. the representation of an ass by a peach..)
- zarzavat 2y agoIt’s both. Each emoji has a pictographic meaning as defined by Unicode, but there’s also a language that has arisen contextually on social media. For example the “painting nails” emoji may refer to painting one’s nails, but it can also mean “whatever” as in “whatever you say I’m just painting my nails”. Or the skull emoji which has a variety of meanings relating to being metaphorically dead - “I’m dying from laughing”, “you’re fucked”, etc. There’s also the controversy over the acceptability or not of using the sobbing emoji to represent laughter.
- bastawhiz 2y agoI suspect many people coming here from companies with Slack will be proud to be celebrating the singular amphibian that's anthropomorphized as the unmistakable Bufo emoji collection.
- IncreasePosts 2y ago> Why is there only one amphibian? Because amphibians are essentially made up of frogs/toads, salamanders, and caecilian. People like frogs, it is an important emoji to have. Salamanders on a small scale look too similar to a lizard. Caecilians on a small scale look too similar to worms or snakes. So the only reasonable amphibian to have an emoji is a frog.
- Flop7331 2y agoAxolotl. Very popular and recognizable.
- imp0cat 2y agoThese are amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFkIG9S2Mmg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFkIG9S2Mmg - The Insane Biology of: The Axolotl
- ahartmetz 2y agoCraziest thing IMO: It doesn't leave its larval stage, but you can give it the hormones that turn other reptilians into adults - and they work! You'll get a living adult axolotl, a pretty normal looking reptile with just a few minor bugs (IIRC).
- cpeterso 2y agoFWIW, iOS's emoji keyboard suggests the lizard emoji if you search for "salamander" (or "gecko", though it's not an amphibian).
- madmountaingoat 2y agoThis glosses over the real crimes. 103 Chordates, 12 Arthropods, 3 Molluscs, 3 Cnidarians and 1 Annelid. That leaves 27 phylum unaccounted for at all.
- karol 2y agoFascinating!
- tantalor 2y agoSnails aren't bugs!
- riffraff 2y agoWait, those two camels ain't both camels, one is a dromedary! Tho the dromedary is the one used for the camel cigarettes, which is confusing.
- PaulHoule 2y agoMy strongly held opinion is that dragons are dinosaurs and like dinosaurs and birds are in the group Archosauria so I'd be inclined to lump dragons in with birds. This explains why you never see dragons because you never see dragons for the same reason you never see dinosaurs.
- codeflo 2y agoRegarding the suggested categorization: Why is a dragon considered “grounded”? Why is a scorpion considered more “squishable” (good luck!), than a lizard?
- wonger_ 2y agoGood points. I thought about making an airborne category, but there were too many flightless birds. I also thought about removing the dragon and unicorn since they're imaginary. I just imagine that the dragon is too overweight to fly, and that scorpions are easy to squish if you have sturdy construction boots. I'm happy to hear better groupings!
- not_your_mentat 2y agoSomeone has to have already made a YouTube channel in which they eat every animal represented by an emoji.
- PaulHoule 2y agoLots of chicken emoji because chickens are important to people https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.180325 https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.180325
- uoaei 2y agoyeah, i've seen plenty of rooster ornaments on houses, not so many turkeys or lizards
- blendergeek 2y agoI love this categorization. I do have one recommendation. Please move penguins from birdy to aquatic. As the seminal paper on fungi and bird fishiness demonstrates, penguins are very fishy birds [0].

- atleastoptimal 2y agostrangely there is no “eating” emoji, depicting a person actively consuming a food or beverage. Why is this, when it is perhaps one of the few nearly universal human behaviors
- sthatipamala 2y ago“Nearly”. I think it is in fact universal.
- NeoTar 2y agoTo be pedantic (which could be a slogan of this website) then depending on how you define eating, there will be a small number of people who don’t ‘eat’ food (I.e. consume via mouth), but must have it inserted directly into their stomach.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoI was thinking of those people that claim to live on sunlight.
