Look at the fish emote, or the robot, or the evil face, or the Nyan Cat. Why describe how elated you are when you can just use a smiley face? Why talk about your depression when you can just frown? Why use ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) when you could just be bold and use words to create innuendo in chat? (Please don't.)

A 24-hour lack of emotes would be amusing, and perhaps even a sigh of relief. I do ask that this be enacted when I'm not on my New York trip, though... why do you care

theyre different ways of expressing emotions I see no emotion in a dancing yellow man, thank you very much. lots of people do tho In which case I think the emote should be removed. After all, last I saw, it was mainly used for the purpose of spamming dozens of yellow dancing men at a time. Is "spamming" considered an emotion these days?

Like I said, I support a 24-hour experiment. I see no problem with emotes such as basic faces.
