Facebook Unveils New 'Reaction' Buttons, Users Respond
You may have noticed something different about your Facebook this morning — that’s because Facebook unveiled the new “Reactions” to replace the “Like” button!
Instead of just being able to “Like” a status, you can now “Like,” “Love,” “Haha,” “Wow,” “Sad” or “Angry” any status on the social networking site.
“We’ve been listening to people and know that there should be more ways to easily and quickly express how something you see in News Feed makes you feel. That’s why today we are launching Reactions, an extension of the Like button, to give you more ways to share your reaction to a post in a quick and easy way,” Facebook explained.

my new dick move is going to be giving the "sad" facebook reaction to outfit selfies of people who have wronged me

I've had the new Facebook reactions for 20 minutes and I already accidentally "wow"ed the status of someone I haven't talked to in 10 years
