I was a new grad student at a gathering organized to introduce us to the department, and I was drinking a hard lemonade. The department head walked up to me and said, with a strong German accent:
In Germany, zat would be illegal.
I thought she was just giving me a hard time about drinking the lemonade rather than a real beer, but then I looked it up and the lemonade would in fact have been illegal in Germany. (Or rather it would have been illegal when she was growing up there. It was legalized since then.)
I CAN’T LITERALLY PICTURE ANY FACES LET ALONE ONES I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. ALSO, WHY ARE WE YELLING?!
I DONT KNOW, BUT IM GOING TO CONTINUE TO YELL BCZ NOW ITS FUN.

SMH she’s never been on feddit.org/c/ich_iel.
I suggest the above format over links.
Why is it preferable?
Clickability.
Weird, the one I typed is clickable, too. Is that just a quirk of the standard web interface that my server is using? Though I see that it also changes the link so you’re still using your own instance when you’re visiting the link, which would be enough to make it preferable.
It allows other instances to click your link without leaving their instance.
It is, but it opens in a browser instead of the app if using an app(maybe some apps handle it better than others though)
Formatting it like they did allows people to click through while staying on their home instance.
Germans enjoy humour, but smiling isn’t as efficient as laughing on the inside.

With the power of unicode you can add eyes to any letter:

That’s just an upside down dick though
Huh. Using them from now on Ü
The real answer is that using a non-standardized Strichgesicht is against the rules.

The absolute value?
Shame, you should get your hypothalamus checked.
That only explains half of the question…
One of my favourite ever jokes was told to me by a German friend.
"How many Germans does it take a change a lightbulb?
One. We are very efficient"
His fairly strong accent, perpetually furrowed brow and deadpan delivery really made it
We are very efficient
Everyone that dealt with German bureaucracy, no matter if it’s public or private, will tell you this is a joke no matter the delivery.
VEE DO NOT SMILE IN CHAIRMANY!
German humour is no laughing matter.
Honestly, we should be adapting more non English letters into our emoticons. Ü and ö are great examples, but :þ or :Þ looks way more like a tongue sticking out than :p does (though, I said non English, and þorn is, technically, an English letter…
Ÿ could be something… I’m not sure what, but something. Potentially pornographic…
ẞ or ß could be some kind of sideways boobs… Maybe an ass?
ð could be eyes if doubled ð.ð sunglasses:
ð-ðÐ could be gap-toothed smiley. =Ð nerd smiley: 8Ð
There are others, but I only have English, Esperanto, and Icelandic installed right now.
Esperanto has letters with little hats. Ĵ makes a nice little umbrella.
That’s cool!

Gboard actually has them built in ᕙ(＠°▽°＠)ᕗ
How does one access this feature? I’ve got Gboard
After opening the emoji picker, press in the emoticon in the bottom right. Should be right between GIF and backspace.
┌(・。・)┘♪ woot! Holy shit, I can’t believe I never knew that was there!
