A man with curly brown hair stands frowning, saying "God's sake," while a small antenna-topped robot on a desk answers in a jagged lightning-bolt speech bubble: "63." A caption reads: "Product Idea: Machine that predicts how many reaction emoji your funeral page will ever get." The joke: the device coldly forecasts the meager number of emoji reactions his death announcement will receive. Votey: in a sketchy black-and-white drawing, the same man reflects, "I need to make more online acquaintances to live a better life," taking the bleak prediction as motivation to chase more social-media contacts.
