This was much later. At the time unicode was not supported throughout the internet, so we were limited to ansi/ASCII.
Embracing it, putting an onion on my belt.

It was a yellow onion, but one of those fancy white ones you have nowadays.

Apparently in some other languages they just use ))) or some crazy number of parentheses, like )))))))
It shouldn’t bug me as much as it does, but c’mon, it doesn’t even look like a face!
iirc one of the Asian languages pronounces the number 4 as “ha” so instead of typing things like “LOL” they’ll just spam 4 to respond to something funny.
The parenthesis thing is probably something similar. We’ve all got weird linguistic quirks; the digital era just dumps fuel on the fire.

I sometimes use :))))) to express giddiness :p
I first got on the Internet just as the shift from :-) to :) was happening, only geezers still used :-) and :) was the hip new thing…
@_@,
