Why Inverted Smileys Make Some People Flip (-: Haha [VIDEO]

-
So a new study reveals that emoticons are actually changing human brains.

In this video, it has been studied that unlike Smiley's, we know see :-)  as a new language.

Our brains treat it as a written language to decode.

Smileys are a different story since we humans have always accustomed to seeing faces in things as part of our evolutionary trait like seeing faces of divine subjects on clothing's or sandwiches.

Although we recognize :-) as a human face smiling, our brain is reacting to it differently.

This is very reason why some people flip out when they receive an inverted smiley like this one (-: or this (:

How about you do you find the inverted smiley weird too?

How often do you use emoticons or emojis on your messages?

A sponge and the choice to start from scratch. In Ford they have not used half measures to give life to the Focus 2019, the fourth generation of the best-seller of Blue Oval that is ready to debut in dealerships, where it will be reached in September by the family SW. On the other hand, even if the SUV boom is stealing space from the C-segment compacts, these models maintain a key role in the global market and in the houses' budgets. Logical then that in Ford have rolled up their sleeves to pack a product that can please all the latitudes and a more transversal audience than ever. It is no coincidence then that the Ford Focus 2019 presents itself with a complex range, ready to arouse the interest of many motorists. The two bodywork in the catalog can be combined with Focus (essential), Plus (concrete), Business (smart, company-sized), ST-Line (sporty), Titanium (elegant) and Vignale (sumptuous). Later, at the end of the year, the Focus Active will also arrive, with crossover pro

The funniest pastime for Dua Lipa in this quarantine period seems to be the DIY hairdresser game. After the bi-colored blonde, the singer changed to pink a few days ago , and today she offers us the orange hair version. The singer publishes a new intervention on Instagram in love with her boyfriend and 20 year old model Anwar Hadid. A cheeky and fun color that gives her a lot, and now she is really ready to join as a tenth member of the BTS! LOL. What do you think of these constant changes of look? An original way these days to not turn off the focus on his Pop masterpiece "Future Nostalgia"?

Launch of the new 2023 Toyota Vios or Yaris Ativ in the Philippines

-
Image
The new-generation Vios is the one automobile that the market is unquestionably yearning for. Although the current style initially appeared in 2018, it was actually an improvement of the generation that made its debut in 2013. 9 years may not seem like a long time for frame-based cars (such as SUVs and pickup trucks), but in the context of passenger cars, that's a lifetime. Now that Toyota has released the first official preview for the next-generation Vios, we could have an answer. Toyota Motor Thailand is the company we're referring to, not Toyota Motor Philippines. Yes, they are allowing us to see the brand-new Vios for the first time.  Because of this, what is known as the Vios in the country is known as the Yaris Ativ there. The preview itself is really short—like a TikTok video of only 15 seconds. It shows a few glimpses of the new generation of cars with their market endorsers. And yeah, for a tiny car, it does look very hot. We can make out a grille that appears to be

Toyota could be bringing the Toyota Yaris Cross to the Philippine market by 2021. These photos were taken in India.  It will be one of the last to arrive, in the summer of next year, in the fast growing segment of small SUVs from the city, but it has all the cards to become a top.  It is the Yaris Cross, a B-Suv, which inherits almost everything from the noble sister but is an entirely new product with greater ground clearance, intelligent front or all-wheel drive and the latest Toyota hybrid system.  Made in France, in Valenciennes, the Cross has more muscular and modern lines and keeps the same pace as the Yaris, but grows a little: more 240 mm in length (4,180 mm in total), plus 30 mm from the ground and 90 mm wide.
