Whenever I see classic emojis in a sentence, I believe it's some 50-something years old writing some cringe shit (you can say shit on the internet, by the way) for their friends in facebook.

I believe so. But do you write cringe shit (like the post we're talking in) on facebook? I think you probably don't, hence my point stands.
I definitely don't write or talk like that, I may be silly but I'm not an idiot.
Some philologist is currently writing a thesis on the development of emoji "accents" on social media.
I’m sorry this is the CIA -an unmarked van will be taking you to an offshore black-site for saying shit on the Internet.
Gang shit
Wait we can say shit in the shitpost community? If only I had known earlier!
Edit: also, my colleagues (millennials and gen X-ers) have discovered the gen Z emojis and are spamming them ironically in the group chat now
Really depends on the emoji imo. 🤣 is definitely a boomer one in my experience, I never see it being used by a younger person
I see 🤣 being used by older AND younger people mostly whereas people my age might use 😂 or just plain ol' :D which we're more used to
Downvoted for cringe censorship
Thank you.
Is this just a white thing? I figured it was a southern thing because black people here do it just as frequently as white people.
And regardless of race they always do it right in middle of the main aisle of the store so no one can pass.
Racist versus regionist
Well dip me in butter and roll me in nuts
Red-necks you mean?
No
"Jeez Steve, let's start with coffee and see how it goes before jumping to pegging and dirty talk".
Shit. Ass.
Hello, human resources?
Well, well, well, if it isn't Shitcock Mike the third. How has the sack been hanging, partner?
Hmm you confused the sociopaths with normal greeters
Don't be mad, y'all can't come up with a fly af greetings like that.
Those greetings were part of the trade for our rhythm centuries ago.
Along with the colonialism, but that's not as fun.
Well, shit on my dick. How's it going fuckface!?
Well golly gee humdinger fuck me in the ass!
Don't have to ask me twice
is this dude hanging out at a gay bathhouse?
Is this what happens when there's a Microsoft / Apple crossover episode?
