Typing in the names of yourself and your friends is like doing one of those internet personality tests, except with all of the nonsense cut out :D

Aye, I picked uppercase VISNUP as the example since lowercase visnup was a boring-looking document. I think it’s SHA256 and Unicode v12 telling me to be extra.

Oh, I forgot: lowercase visnup = 🌎, but that renders poorly for the thumbnailer. 🤪

ok, now I'm kinda on a mission to find a word that hashes to its emoji. I'm half-considering brute forcing the search...

i tried this: 
emoji.filter(em => em === emojiHash(em))
which sadly is empty  😢 (but maybe i understood something wrong)

ah! emoji => emoji directly! I was thinking "english word description" => emoji checking, which would require getting all the descriptive names and synonyms.

oh also, did you await emojiHash? it's async so you might've been comparing to promise objects.

One of these has to be it……… 📚  https://observablehq.com/d/a756838aed69f6ff

Oof, that's a lot to look through. If I wanted to do it right, I'd automate the search by just checking equality with input, and if I wanted to look through it manually, I should at east compute the probability of success first. (10%? 0.000001%? 99%?)

AH! Can we call "smiling face" (= 😄) close enough to go with it??

😮

I don't know why it's so fun to read through https://observablehq.com/d/a756838aed69f6ff and allow your brain to create random (sinister?) connections between the phrases and emoji.
