Last month, writer-editor Peter Miller made a startling discovery: the ice cream and poo emojis are EXACTLY the same.

That’s right. The ice cream emoji is just a pile of poo colored white and stuck on top of a cone!

Miller made the discovery while "photoshopping the poo onto the cone, for an annoying text to my girlfriend," he said. He then created an animated cartoon that rocked the Internet with its implications.

“Everything you know is a lie,” wrote the Huffington Post and the rest of the ’net howled in agreement.

I don’t know if it’s that dire, but it is a shame that I’ll never look at the poo — or ice cream — emoji the same way again.
