A groundbreaking study reveals that our brains process emojis differently than words, leading to a whole new level of miscommunication.
Researchers found that people interpret emojis based on personal experiences and cultural background. Your happy face might be someone else's sarcastic smirk!
Surprisingly, it takes our brains longer to process emojis than words. So that rapid-fire emoji conversation? It's actually slowing you down!
