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
You can tell you're a filthy Xer because you don't put lol before your period lol.
Fuck. You right. Lol
Now it looks like a policeman directing traffic instead of a person drowning lol
That’s my emotional support lol you will not take it from me
Live, Love, LOL
i will stop adding lol immediately fr fr. no cap.
This meme is straight bussin', on god, fr fr.
Ong?
Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me lolol.
It's just some extra spice for a sentence, lol.
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?
As soon as you fucks stop adding emojis and gifs all over yours
Like we didn't use msn emoticons
If I can't use lol I'll go back to hehe
Hehe reads sexual to my millennial eyes
I feel like I'm being personally attacked, lol.
We like laughing, what can I say 🤷... like it's fucking crime, shees 😒.
It's my emotional support mood indicator!
We use lol to honor trolololol

Life is a joke so why not laugh at it.
Life's a piece of shit when you look at it. 🎵
You'll see it's all a show

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.
