I think I started back in 2008, but I could be wrong. That's the oldest file in there for me, at least.

I wonder if they'll publish some that didn't make it into the newspapers because they would offend some readers. The PreHistory of the Far Side[^] contains several of these. Perhaps my favorite is one dog speaking to another while holding up a glass jar: "The vet let me keep them. They're my testicles."

Haven't read anything about that. But there will be new stuff.

With 1215 different emoticons, I spend a lot of time searching through the indexes, trying to find the one that maches the image, and I can see the explanation of what the reader intended to convey.
For the first ten years or so of smileys, there were so few of them that I managed to keep up with their meaning. Nowadays, it would probably be easier to learn Chinese pictographs. Sure enough: You can get a rough idea; you know if the writer is happy, sad or ashamed. But why did he give me a instead of a or maybe a or ? What did he mean when answering with a ? (Well, that one I can guess when I add it to to my own text - that is easier that guessing from the image, which might as well be taken as "I'm on a sunny vacation".)
So I generally interpret emoticons as "Some emotion attached here - let's not waste time on the details". In other words: I do not value them very highly.

A fascinating example of this issue is that the laughing smiley 😂 is being used by some as a crying smiley - To morbid effect.

You could also make it self-leveling. Maybe use an IoT device and interface it too... Oh, never mind.

Yet another form of BREXIT ?
Well - they'll sell because managers don't keep in mind the time that will be spent by employees cleaning up a mess of great messiness when they slide off onto the floor at the wrong moment.
For some us, who have learned to perch on the seat . . . sneakers or barefoot ought to counteract the plight.

Most likely not ADA complaint, so no worries here.

It depresses me that not only was someone stupid enough to think this would work, but that other people were stupid enough to say "yeah, that sounds like a great idea".
Of course, the inventor probably isn't that stupid if he profits from it, but it also depresses me that people are happy to exploit others for personal gain.
Either way you look at it, it's a crappy world we live in.
Oh, and if people just want to slack off in the toilet I am sure they can just as easily play on their phones while standing up next to the toilet... what's next, lower the ceilings in bathrooms?
