About to, lol.

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Life sucks, I'm poor, and everything hurts. Lol.

[–] rarWars@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm Gen Z and I use lol as punctuation at the end of a sentence to indicate a lighthearted tone, just like a ? or ! indicate their respective tones. It's very useful, and I think I'll keep using it lol

It fills a similar niche to tone tags but somewhat less intrusive imo.

This has how it's always been used as far as I have seen as an older millennial, aside from being used in a form of irony.

It's an upbeat tone indicator. But it's not the same as sending someone a smile with your text.

It fills a useful niche. Just like /s also does.

But I really am laughing out loud. I am rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off. In a helicopter. A helicopter that goes swooshswooshswooshdwoosh.

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not aware of this helicopter stuff. What is that about? Lol?

And also don't forget the dongcopter

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

ROFLcopter or Rolling on the floor laughing like a helicopter is when something is so funny that you fall out of your seat laughing and you start kicking yourself giddily around the floor in a circle like a helicopter rotor.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago

Can't stop won't stop lol.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm gen X as all hell and I'll say lol when I want lol.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I say lol for teh lulz.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was once sitting next to a colleague in a group pod who sent us an e-mail ending with "lol". I turned to my left and called him out on it because that dude was quiet as a mouse.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Millennials not using lol in their messages is like a Brit not offering you tea

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah it's a tone indicator "this may be taken as having a serious or upset tone, but wasn't meant that way" though it also can mean "please don't be upset" in the case of something like "sorry I disappeared for a bit, life happened lol"

[–] A_Drusas@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Excuse you, but it's lol, no.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

ROFLMAO never

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

I've really been struggling lately in a way that feels more serious than ever before lol

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Oh, sorry. Things just don't feel the same as when we were dating. I feel like the magic is gone. I want a divorce.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The only person I know with the lol habit is American. No one else does that.

[–] imjustmsk@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

shit I ain't american nor a Millenial lol

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

It's still better than using "literally" in every sentence.

[–] heartpunk25@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I am technically an older gen z lol.

[–] jeffep@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

So is "no, " correct or "no, lol lol"?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

"Lulz" is a corruption of "L.O.L.," which stands for "Laugh Out Loud."

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I would never tell them what to do, I just respond by ending every sentence "ha ha, HA haha hooo", copy and paste after every sentence.

For some reason they find it annoying, who knows why? I am confused

p.s. ha ha, HA haha hooo

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 0 points 6 days ago

Imagine not understanding why being an obnoxious, pedantic twit who mocks others for inconsequential things would annoy people, lol.

Easiest block ever.

Lol.
