It can be pretty hard to express emotions through text messages, and you’ve probably found yourself adding a smiley face in the end of a message just to “not look mean” at least once or twice. And while using smileys and emojis is pretty justifiable, there’s something that should be avoided by any means – and that something is creepy asterisks.

There’s just something about asterisks that instantly derails any conversation. And if you’re not convinced, just ask any of the members of the r/CreepyAsterisks2 community on Reddit. Its 13k users are constantly sharing the creepy asterisk-filled messages they receive from strangers, and the cringe is strong enough to cause physical pain.

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
