💀 or ☠️?

💀 means "dying of laughter", ☠️ actually means danger.

💀
Skull U+1F480

A skull – today mostly "I am dying of laughter", not danger.

When does it fit?

As a laughing reaction, ironic, never threatening.

Skull and Crossbones stands for bone, crossbones and dead in everyday messages.

When does it fit?

Warning, poison, danger – or a pirate theme.

The difference in detail

Both show a skull but the usage is opposite. 💀 is the standard laughing emoji among younger users, having replaced 😂. ☠️ with crossed bones is the classic warning symbol and stays serious.
