The ultimate emote for flexin' your soft boi energy in a lowkey way. Drop this emote in the snapchat squad to let 'em know you feelin' cute but not tryna make it weird. Especially powerful when paired with "uwu" to communicate the feels through an intentionally absurd pastiche that critiques societal norms through ironic recontextualization. Can also be used on twitter when you want people to know you've got an alt af aesthetic but don't wanna curse too hard and get canceled by the stans. Definitely a vibe to throw in your Tinder bio if you tryna attract the art hoes and eboys without seemin' too try-hard. Using ":3" is the most effeminate way to keep it chill while still lookin' like a snack for the other soft bois out there.
Jenny: Omg can you believe Kevin asked me out?! I thought he'd never get the courage :P
Megan: No way, that's crazy! But also not that surprising, I always thought he had a thing for you ;). So are you gonna say yes? :3
In this conversation, Megan uses ":3" lightheartedly and ambiguously. It softens any potentially intrusive questions and shows she's keeping an optimistic yet non-pushy perspective on her friend's dilemma. The ":3" hints that there may be more nuance to her responses without being overtly cryptic.

Sports1. The type of tv channel you stumble across at 1:56 am in a German hotel on a school trip that’s magically transformed from an international slapping competition to a soft core pornographic car mechanic role play show at 2am that your friend will watch for a solid hour or so.

Despite their apparent concern for 'the planet', they never seem to recognize that humans are also a large part of the biogeochemical cycle (aside from pollution) and thus also a part of the planet that should be preserved. Not everyone is compatible with a vegan or vegetarian diet, nor do those diets change anything at all besides one's weakening ones immune system due to lack of meat-based protein.
Chitin (found in bugs) is indigestible to humans, and bugs can also carry many dangerous parasites such as E. coli. The fact that some third-world countries consider bugs a delicacy is not a valid argument, since most of the countries in which that is the case have suffered from genocidal famine.
Nor do they seem to look beyond the surface level of their activism, such as where and how the brands that they love are manufactured or shipped to them (in China, using or by using fossil fuels). Or whether the politicians and celebrities that they support, that publicly on social media genuflect at the climate altar, themselves fly exclusively in private jets, or were otherwise exposed to have ties to (such as by being part of the board of directors of) major oil companies.
Notwithstanding that they are effectively clueless and misinformed about the majority of environmental issues, still somehow they will make it a point to virtue signal to you in some way about their 'enlightened' climate status if you dare disagree with them or view the topic as moot.
