"what about double meanings like in 🍆🥦 and 🍑?" - Ah yes, these ambiguities are very famous. In order to get a new emoji approved nowadays, it's even helpful to be able to point out additional meanings and usages that are metaphorical in this way. The Unicode consortium is wary of introducing too many new emojis, and so those that can "carry more weight" and fill many needs at once are preferred.
In internet corpora the vegetable-related uses of these emojis are probably quite rare (but I must admit I haven't checked yet) - and the metaphorical meanings probably dominate. Though there are also many insider uses of emojis that aren't super widely known outside of their circle. This is comparable to other kinds of linguistic codes or innovations (e.g. in youth language) and not limited to only emojis. #WorldEmojiDay #emojis #linguistics

It's funny to think of this in terms of 1990s headlines in computer magazines claiming that Unix is dead.
It's literally on billions of devices now (and yes I mean actual real Unix, not even Linux, which is on billions more).

Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re bigoted against Jews, you’re no better than Israeli settlers and the Israelis who are complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Someone being Jewish does not mean that they’re Zionist or complicit in genocide. Not all Jews are Zionists. And not all Zionists are Jews.
Conflating the two is antisemitic.
And Israel and Zionists are guilty of pushing that narrative more than anyone else. (Yes, Israel and Zionists a…
