It’s a good tone indicator
Indeed, lol is not the same as haha
It’s more of a sarcastic vibe. Which fits, because you are definitely not laughing out loud when you write lol
Uppercase LOL feels like a haha fuck them kind of schadenfreude laugh to me.
Perhaps LOL is a softer version of HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, which I use to the same effect.
Haha, hehe, heh, hehheh are all very different.
I cannot unless I substitute in :)
Use :3 just to make it awkward.
You can pry :3 from my cold, dead, hands
lol :3
RAWR XD
What about :D
:P sends its regards.
Haha IKR XD
I ain’t using the skull emoji as a replacement for perfectly good ASCII
bro 💀
Ok boomer
I’m a Xennial, so I put lol at the end of my sentences, but hate it. lol
Least we are not forgotten for once kek
I am a Zillenial and I do the same.
I literally can’t stop myself lol
It’s a problem lmao
How will people know my tone? It’s stupid, but effective.
Lol.
I’m sorry but “lol” is a totem of the fact that our generation was the first that grew up with the internet. Instant messengers were a cornerstone of our youth, and it’s been embedded into our language. There is no changing this.
It would be like us asking you to stop using “it’s giving” or similar.
It’s giving lol
lol, ok
Aren’t you supposed to add “boomer” to that? (also, isn’t everyone over 40 a boomer now, according to some? 😜)
Ok boomer
That’s the good stuff! 😁👴
lol. lmao, even.
Sure lol
I hear you.
Hear me out, though, don’t censor the way other people speak as long as that speech is inoffensive.
If it makes people happy to add lol, or any other thing into their speaking pattern, then that’s perfectly fine.
If you have a judgment about it, keep it to yourself.
There are more important things to worry about.
This. Unless it’s uwu. Unironic uwu users must be shunned for the good of us all
uwudn’t!
It’s time to just support cringe as long as it’s not fascist cringe.
It’s time to be groovy with any type of ‘other’ that accepts others.
I alternate between that and “haha”. You can pry my lol off my cold dead lolerskate feet as I fly away in my roflcopter
I could never bring myself to do that, actually.
So I just ended up replacing it with an equally annoying onomatopoeic expression to end almost every sentence, haha
I unapologetically balance my lols and hahas. Loha if you will lol
This is the way. Lol
lol
I was talking to someone about a serious and personal topic, and caught myself saying “lol” quickly, and apologised in advance explaining that it’s a habit.
“Man, that sucks lol”. They understood it already as a force of habit, yet I didn’t realise how difficult it is to shake lol!
Edit: damn it…It’s the only way I can avoid both Poe’s law and involuntary institutionalization, lol
