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
I'm guilty, lol

I’ve caught myself doing it multiple times in one message before. 😔

lol same, pretty much like this lol
So_zetta_slowpoke@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ll stop doing this when we make a new punctuation that conveys my need for people to like me lol
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
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.
aulin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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

How else am i supposed to let people know im not being seriously serious? A fucking /s? Lame ass shit lol
pythonoob@programming.dev 8 months ago
You could say haha like a gen xer lol
Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

I used to end every sentence with lol
I mean, I still do more often than I’d like to admit lol

Phen@lemmy.eco.br 8 months ago
I try to write the extended “Lots of Love” now instead of shortening it to “lol” every time.

I’m more of a “^^”, “xD” or 😂 kind of guy
the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I actually hate when i do an old school emoji and it ‘cartoons’ it. Im not against the ‘pretty’ emojis but i want what i want to be sent how i typed it.
Lol

cannibalkitteh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
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.
Duranie@literature.cafe 8 months ago
Lol then I forget I added it at the beginning and end up making an awkward sandwich lol 🥴.

That’s fucking hilarious lol
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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. Have a few lols when pointing out hypocrisy or incorrect shit with citations is just the creme of the lol crop.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 months ago
LOL
criticon@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
I recently noticed that I switched from adding lol to inserting an emoji at the end 😅

EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It turns out it sounds really old to call them emoticons.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I preferred emoticons. There are too many emoji. Too many of them are meaningless. No matter what platform you’re on, you have to SLAM typing to a halt to go into a separate menu to pick one out.
