It was bound to happen sooner or later. Two British Internet personalities have announced the creation of [Emojli](http://emoj.li), a social network that allows people to only communicate via emojis—the everyman’s language. (Because poop means poop, no matter where you come from.)

“Now we know what you’re thinking: This is satire. No one would actually make this thing,” says the calming Emojli video’s over-voice. After all, creators [Matt Gray and Tom Scott are known for their prankster YouTube videos](https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay). But according to the video, “It’s not, and we have.”

Emojli creators say it will be up running “very soon”, and the [website](https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay) encourages people to sign up for a unique username now.

In the last decade, long-winded Live Journal rants compressed to slightly less rambling Facebook posts, which condensed to 140 character tweets to smiley faces to emojis depicting salsa dancing girls, eggplants, and a monkey covering his face — depending on your mood. If a concept like Emojli became the next big social network, then maybe people would stop using words altogether (cue [_Twilight Zone_ theme](http://youtu.be/-b5aW08ivHU)).
