Dammmmn, that's an ugly ball. Let's call it the Curseball Games insted.

(Fun thing: The football you usually see in emojis is also based on an official World Cup ball, but at least that one's a classic for a reason. Looks distinctive. Looks cool. Can't say the same for most of the recent ones, it's all a blur to me!)

It's about a hunnert billionaires banding together...c'mon we can take 'em all down! Let's Robin Hood all those motherfuckers!

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Fucking disgusting, really. Piece of shit app.

Why are you using meta WhatsApp? The fuck?

[–] placebo@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

To communicate with people who aren't tech nerds, i.e. majority of the population.

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I switched off an my parents, grandparents and siblings all switched to signal with me.
I'm not saying everyone can or will, but it may be easier that we think.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

I did the same. Took a while but the whole family was on board.

Now on to convince multiple circles of friends and every new person I meet...

In many parts of the world Whatsapp is the dominate communication platform. My landlord sends me my utility bills through WhatsApp, as is my doctor's scheduling platform, and my vet's contact info, etc. It's basically impossible to do things without it.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 2 points 3 hours ago

Because 3 billion other people do.

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

Probably because "Network effect". Many places whatsapp is basically the texting app and you are fucking forced to use it

FIFA ball does not look happy

[–] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you see it as pointing to the right it looks pretty content, actually.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

Try as I might, I can’t imagine it that way. Got an illustration?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Not to you, to meme OP

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why is there a lime green baseball?

[–] YabbaDabbaDipshit@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's a softie for the ladies

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Kind of weird how the ladies ball is bigger. We have smaller hands. Ours should be smaller.

[–] munsking@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

easier to hit cause clearly women have to be bad at sports

[–] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 95 points 20 hours ago

WhatsApp is a Meta company. They are doing worse than pushing emoji on you

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago
