Early internet days on ICQ, my family members would use lol as "lots of love" which just made some messages hilarious. "Bye, miss you lol!"

lol it’s quite easy if you put it first.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

I’m gen z rather than a millennial, but for me putting lol at the start of a sentence just means I have a 75% chance of putting multiples lol in the sentence.

I’ve recognized this enough times that now when it happens there’s a little alarm that goes off in my head to remove some lols

[–] zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Depends where you live, it's somehow still alive and well in Poland! You'd usually use the lowercase xd for a more refined and low-key vibe tho, the full caps ones are reserved for special occasions.

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I love how you can get the evolution from the original "XD", which low key resembles a facial expression to the "more refined" "xd", which resembles nothing at all but just relies on cultural awareness to be interpreted.

not a millennial but lol

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

it’s just another intonation marker, a hedging particle, or a pragmatic tone indicator.

it signals the sentence is for comradery, but not immediate action

Technically a xennial, but yeah it's a necessity lol

My speech is really blunt so I feel like every other thing I write would otherwise be misinterpreted as some personal attack lol

(Now reread it without the lols)

We're all borrowed matter dancing upon the firmament of an indefinable thing called reality, and our conscious existence is nothing more than an emergent property of this farce within a farce, lol
