Lol means a lot of things to us. It’s hard to put into language. A signal we’re kidding, we’re uncomfortable expressing an emotion through text, we’re nervous, we don’t want something taken the wrong way, we’re expressing casual empathy. There’s more to lol than laughing, I’m sure someone has done a study on it by now.
"lol" is punctuation. A carryover from a time before we had a thousand different emoji to pick from, and also when casual IM communication was not yet so ingrained our culture that conveying subtle tone came naturally. Lol
It used to annoy me a bit first, but after a while I realised this. It's true. So I incorporated lols in my conversations with millenials, in moderation of course. Definitely an improvement
That's my xD, lmao, >:)
Lmao
You add it after trauma dumping to have plausible deniability lol
I'm Gen X and I do that shit all the time. Lol

Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me lolol.
It's just some extra spice for a sentence, lol.
As soon as you fucks stop adding emojis and gifs all over yours

I used to use "aal" to be edgy. "Actual audible laugh". No one knew what the fuck I was talking about. Yeah, I'm embarrassed about that.
You should be embarrassed, but are you aae, though?
If I can't use lol I'll go back to hehe
I feel like I'm being personally attacked, lol.

Lmao is the only acceptable one. Lol is for everyone's grandparents
Lmao isn't professional when having a work conversation with your boss but lol definitely is, so it's clearly superior lol
"you're fired!"
"lmao"
I want to be fired for sending an acronym in which one of the letters stood for a swear. Not even the dumbest thing that's ever happened to me.
