For anyone wondering, this is basically a young millennial / gen z meme. The emoji is usually pronounced "pwease", as in a childlike pronunciation of "please" Therefore the command is basically just asking very nicely, hoping to get one's way edit. source: dude just trust me

Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.

You're not wrong, at least based on the demographics I've seen.

But I bet if you said "pwease emoji" or "bottom emoji", much of the same group would probably get it.

Though maybe "pwease" would this and the fingers.

I mean clearly this is all quite tongue in cheek but:

Not a very charitable way to describe volunteers who don’t want to learn the flavor-of-the-month language to reimplement their old projects. Maybe if there were some folks who knew rust and were interested in doing this kind of work it would get done.

Thanks for the explanation. Emoji to me might as well be Chinese characters. It's just a "thing" I can't read.

A appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me. I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(

Wait what, this is some kind of emoji/face? It shows up as a grey solid box that is slightly wider than tall for me, so not even the typical "glyph missing" thing...

Edit: ok apparently this is indeed the placeholder for missing emoji in Firefox for Android at least.

The quoted paragraph has nothing to do with language choice.

The actual title is supposed to be "🥺: the best sudo replacement", but I'm not surprised that Hacker News stripped the emoji.

I've put it back for you. HN is plain-text-obsessive by design but occasional exceptions make life interesting.

Emoji are text!

The meaning can also be inferred from… the face.
