Russians unironically think this is a smiley and is enough to convey happy emotions.

>>212013411 (OP)

>>212013511
Redpill me on the 0. Do not hold back, do NOT hold back.

This is sacrilege

>>212013411 (OP)
some people in my cunt use that as a smiley as well

>>212013411 (OP)
Not just the Russians, all CIS countries use it. I was texting a QT 3.14 Belarusisn girl and she kept using brackets when texting me because of habit I guess and remember it throwing me the fuck off at first

>>212013534
In the 00s/early 10s russian internet it was common to use zeroes together with the happy smile(open parentheses) and nines together with the sad smile (close parentheses)
The reason why's it like that is lost forever in the mysteries of old internet but generally speaking if you were really happy in a memey way, you'd pist something like ))0)0)))))000)

>>212013685
>))0)0)))))000)
It's worse than I thought.

>>212013685
>the reason
The reason is that you don't hold shift and it becomes 0 instead of ). It's not rocket science, Armen.

Because Russians always use it passive-aggressively after making some comment about helicopter accidents axaxaxaxaxaxa))))))

it works fine pidor))))))))))))))))))

>>212013682
Yeah, i learned about it first time when i was messaging with Kazakh girl and she used it, i did ask what she means with it so she did explain me that

>>212013411 (OP)
I think it's actually better because it embeds the emotion into the message more deeply
it's also easier to control the intensity of the emotion by adding more or fewer parentheses
it really symbolizes the classic stereotype of the Russian soul: externally stoic but internally passionate

>I think it's actually better
You are wrong and probably stupid. No, I will not elaborate.
