- upvote context
- Posted in reaction to attractive photos on subreddits like r/Wellthatsucks or r/mildlyinteresting when someone accidentally posts something suggestive.
- community use
- In food subreddits like r/vegetablegardening or r/EatingHealthy, used literally. In r/memes or r/teenagers, fully deployed in its innuendo capacity.
- subreddit meaning
- r/eggplant exists as a food sub but is frequently brigaded with jokes. On NSFW subreddits, it's a universal shorthand.
- karma context
- A comment consisting solely of ๐ on a thirst-adjacent post will reliably earn karma, demonstrating Reddit's appreciation for economy of expression.
