Oh shit I’m in this picture lol
I see what you did there lol
lol
I didnt even see the lol at the end, its like punctuation to me by now lol
Gen X here, and it’s a struggle to not do it lol.
LMAO, we’re also the only ones that use :-D, instead of the funny cartoon ones.
Me too lol
I have to check my previous couple messages to make sure I didn’t add “lol” at the end of them so I don’t make it weird by saying lol too much
Lol
lol
I’ve caught myself doing it multiple times in one message before. 😔
lol same, pretty much like this lol
I’ll stop doing this when we make a new punctuation that conveys my need for people to like me lol
We did, they’re called emojis.
Gen z seems to have figured that out, too. They use emojis like punctuations, in much the same way we use lol. I was annoyed by it at first but I got used to.
I’m pretty sure Millennials never caught onto that because we either used emoticons, or were traumatized into thinking that emojis were somehow “girly”. So the lol or lmao ended up being the way to show emotion/sentiment.
It was because there were all kinds of tacky and terrible looking emoticon packs back then, pretty much everyone agreed you looked like a dork. Nowadays they are used to produce shitposts.
Everyone who used them back in the day had malware too.
Google dawt cawm… Fun smily face pack 4 chat on yahoo and aim Download Ooh, desktop strippers? Sweet! I’ll go ahead and get that too. Oh no way, a purple ape assistant! Sweet, lemme git that. I’ll be ur buddy bonzi.
Remember porn dialers? They’d call 1-900 numbers in the background when your computer was idle and make parents really angry.
At least I think that’s what they did.
I use emojis when talking to specific people, lol with others and some I don’t use any text slang at all.
Strangely because I grew up with lots of phpBB forums, the few of them that I still engage with for things like classic cars and farm talk I always use the emojis because that’s what we always did :mrgreen:
I mean, I use them all the time 🤷♂️
which emoji is lol?
😛or 😁 depending on context
those don’t look very loud
😂
Edit: also here’s ROFL for good measure 🤣

What? Are we out of sync? As a millennial I use a lot of emoji, and gen z’ers almost don’t use any, and tell me it’s cringe to use them.
Gotta add it to lighten up the dark thoughts and the implications of the message lol
Gen Z trying not to type 💀
or 🗿

You could say haha like a gen xer lol
I use “haha” when I actually laugh out loud, since “lol” just means “I’m not being serious” or “I’m mildly amused right now” these days, even though it is literally an abbreviation for laughing out loud.
Sounds illegal. I’d be careful if I were you.
I used to end every sentence with lol
I mean, I still do more often than I’d like to admit lol
I never end a sentence with
Can’t end a sentence with lol if you never end a

Just modify your key bindings to enter lol every time you type any punctuation lol
That’s so dumb lol lol lol
I don’t even need to I’m used to it after doing so for so many years lol
It’s… like… the boomer …
I switched to ‘haha’ instead when I caught myself saying lol in real life, haha
Lol no way haha, me too XD
Now add a 3 in it
I stopped adding lol as frequently when I caught myself saying it in real life
haha so true lmao xD
📱🗿
I try to write the extended “Lots of Love” now instead of shortening it to “lol” every time.
“Uncle Bob passed away, lol!”
lol, that’s silly. I do it at the start so that I can punctuate with an ascii emoticon, even in forms of communication where it’s not supported. ;)
Lol then I forget I added it at the beginning and end up making an awkward sandwich lol 🥴.

Guess my age. :)

Only ASCII >:( jk xD
t(-_- t)
I’ve literally been called out on using lol on Lemmy. Probably ~3 months back or so?
I forget how I responded, but it definitely would’ve had lol in it a few times just for emphasis.
Guys, we’re on knockoff reddit, not a debate forum. Having a few lols when pointing out hypocrisy or incorrect shit with citations is just the creme of the lol crop.
LOL
Hi guys my wife left me and I have to put my dog down LOL
Are you a country musician?
I recently noticed that I switched from adding lol to inserting an emoji at the end 😅
