A very useful thing. Some people might find it cringe, but tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should really be used more often by people who naturally text in a cold and dry manner.

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??

Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you๐

Get the Tone Indicatorsmug. Tone Wanker(s) are people who are the level of no of which you wish to get train tones from train drivers. This is done by moving your arm up and down like on a steam train. Typically done by younger railfans who will upload comps of their tones on their youtube channels.

Get the Brotha Tonesmug. A vagina that is not trashed or worn out. Very pleasing to look at. The appropriate verbiage for frat boys to ask for nude pictures of sorority girls. Not your average whores vagina but a high class sorority whores vagina.
