Or even to an insider who can discern them only as tiny indistinguishable blotches.

@da-Doctah reminds me. Anyone else experienced a bug where all emojis are super large on mobile? I've had it for a while but it fixed itself now.

My new hobby - reading internets without full context, as future historians, if any, perhaps would.
What we're looking here today, class, is a very interesting partially recovered fragment of communication between people in the early 21th century. The first participant has relayed a message that they had apparently deemed of utmost importance to other participants. We know that since the 45th amendment of Uncode pictures became the preferred way to transfer text, because individual characters became very, very large. However, use of punctuation suggests this predates the breaking point by about 20 solar years. We may be looking at an early adopter here. Another theory suggests that the message is not so old, and they are the very opposite of early adopters. People like that were called belt onions, which comes from an onion tied to their belts, which was the style at the time.
But people talked in many different languages back then. No one could be reasonably sure that what they wanted to say would be interpreted correctly (and it very often wasn't). This participant is aware of that fact and ammends the message with an introductory gesture. Earlier in the 20th century people of its tribe are known to have engaged in massive parades making introductory gestures in a swift and energetic motion, celebrating the coming of world unity (which, for reasons as of yet unexplained, did not succeed). This participant shows both conversational politeness and respect for the history of its tribe, two early keystones that let us evolve further as a species.
The second participant relays a tiny image of a little girl. Ostensibly, it did not understand the first part of the message, but is an agent of a special interest group collectively known as IBF or 'internet best friends'. While it does not match with the larger portrait on the left, this discrepancy may be explained by the early photography equipment which used only up to four lenses to take a picture.
Now, the third participant is very special in several ways. Particularly among self-ascribed computer professionals at the time, primitive as they were, many engaged in various shamanistic practices and rituals associating themselves with certain animals. This is further confirmed, because the little picture in the corner is what was called an 'avatar', named after a documentary of an early Space Cross expedition to a jungle planet.
But where it gets interesting is that while the name and this 'avatar' suggests it has chosen a goose as its mentor (or several; let me zoom in a bit here so you can see the little hook on the letter A). As I was saying, the participant normally associates with an angry bird, but relays a picture of another animal entirely. Early studies suggest that mentorship was not limited to one species. People like that were known as 'furryfluid'. Be careful and do not confuse them with ferrofluids, which is another - although not unrelated - matter. One could also associate with different materials - even the entire alphabet of periodic elements - and migrate between them as one saw fit. Several other findings at the same dig site this relic was found indicate, for example, a particular affinity for vapors of mercury.

So why is it still bestiality when one fucks roadkill? Necrophilia comes in all the colors of love. And whither vivisection? A bit misleading to stand hard on this point, as very few human necropsies are self-performed.

TIL. My wife is a vet and they always used to (when she worked in the field) talk about autopsies among colleagues. Not just for pets where one could blame quasi-person status but even for wild animals.

But does she insist on "epizootic" instead of "epidemic"?

Even though she's worked with bats (she does insist Flying Foxes are not bats though), no, never heard that word from her. Or anyone else for that matter.

Note for those who read posts aloud: the correct pronunciation is five syllables: EP ee zoh OTT ick, although in many places people will say EP ee ZOO tick. It should really have a diaeresis, I suppose: epizoötic.

Fortunetly, I look at this thread on a real computer (as opposed to a fone). And here, I can hover the mouse over those images to be shown some additional information. Well, sometimes it does not help much.
