About
The Petri Dish emoji (🧫) is the perfect visual shorthand for when something is growing, developing, or getting a little too experimental for comfort. Whether you're talking about actual lab work, describing how your leftovers have evolved into their own ecosystem, or making jokes about toxic environments brewing drama, this little scientific specimen dish captures that sense of cultivation—wanted or otherwise.
