Judging just from that, I'd have taken the meaning as "verge of crying" or "my pet just unexpectedly died" Until I read that comment I was having real trouble figuring out WTF it had to do with running commands. I thought it might be some practical joke tool that automatically modifies your commands such that they'll make you sad when they run.

Google “puppy dog eyes”. Don’t get why we have to bust out all the cringe internet lingo to describe something that you see in that venerable “real world”.

people have different perceptions, interpretations, and understandings of things. Your comment comes across as pretty insulting. clear communication is necessary and helpful

Typing emoji is a pain, but the chat suggests that that might be an advantage: > Using this program requires you to be able to type an emoji. Most attack code is of such poor quality that they are unable to run commands named with emoji.

I'm really curious how much of a joke that was and wasn't

The best part is that it's a joke that has enough merit to it that it's worth being taken seriously. That makes for good satire. I love writing surrealism, it's a very hard balance to meet.

Good news! I'm going to be adding another furry character to the website thanks to this comment. Feel proud, you've had a positive impact on the wallet of a furry artist.

As a hallway monitor, you should be aware that you're not supposed to be reading HN at work, now are you? :-)

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.

Does "bottom" mean what I think it means?

Yes

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

Thanks for explaining..that makes it more obnoxious than I realized.. still I think people are dismissing it without any logical reason.
