[-] Duranie@literature.cafe 11 points 7 months ago

Gen X here, and it's a struggle to not do it lol.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

LMAO, we're also the only ones that use :-D, instead of the funny cartoon ones.

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'll stop doing this when we make a new punctuation that conveys my need for people to like me lol

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 16 points 7 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 14 points 7 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.

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 11 points 7 months ago

You could say haha like a gen xer lol

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 7 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 try to write the extended "Lots of Love" now instead of shortening it to "lol" every time.

[-] Pantrygheist@programming.dev 24 points 7 months ago

"Uncle Bob passed away, lol!"

[-] cannibalkitteh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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 10 points 7 months ago

Lol then I forget I added it at the beginning and end up making an awkward sandwich lol 🥴.

[-] Senseless@feddit.de 22 points 7 months ago

I'm more of a "^^", "xD" or 😂 kind of guy

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 14 points 7 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

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.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

LOL

[-] sirico@feddit.uk 19 points 7 months ago

Hi guys my wife left me and I have to put my dog down LOL

[-] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 18 points 7 months ago

I switched to 'haha' instead when I caught myself saying lol in real life, haha
