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?

Netizens can't help but react to this issue: Phablets Will Replace Traditional Smartphones Reacts are mixed from outrageous and crazy to the just plain wacky and funny. Let us know what you think about this issue. Just hit the comment section below. Andrebw Steven Hsodge says, "They aren't a fad, they're a niche, just like keyboarded phones. Dawmon Baileyw says, "Ill second this. But like Geoff and Max above, (myself being a Note 2 user) I really enjoy the large screen and contradictory to the article, rather decent battery life. Actually, battery life was the big draw to this phone/phablet. power users tend to get a full day and normal users can push it to 2 days,and this was the big draw for me. samsungs AMOLED screens are gorgeous for movies/tv shows, even if their color calibration and reproduction are not photo perfect. if i had to break down my average usage: 50% web 30% media 15% txt/email 5% actual phone calls.

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 Yaris Cross in the Philippines Launching, Actual Photos Taken

-
Image
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. It also improves accessibility to the load compartment, thanks to the rear split seats 40/20/40 and the possibility of adopting an automatic opening tailgate. Yaris Cross benefits from Toyota's fourth generation Full Hybrid Electric technology derived directly from t...

Netizens can't help but react to this issue: Correct Filipino or Tagalog Word For Storm Surge Reacts are mixed from outrageous and crazy to the just plain wacky and funny. Let us know what you think about this issue. Just hit the comment section below. Arcee Suarez says, "ALAB NG ALON is my suggestion Dante Torio says, "Storm surge = delubyong daluyon Benjamin Vallejo Jr. says, "If there is already a word in the Philippine languages with the appropriate meaning, why create a new one? "Silakbo" has very little to do with oceanographic phenomenon but with the more intangible, like emotions. "Humbak" and "daluyong" specifically deal with oceanographic phenomena and this is within the objective meaning given to it by coastal communities. Again as I have suggested in my recent Rappler essay on the issue and using, this creation of new meaning cannot be left to scientists alone but to coastal communities. This will involve no...
