I just told little Davey and he’s devastated lol
All the love lol
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.
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
Well, at least we grew out of adding xD to the end of everything! XDDD
xDeez Nuts Hahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahahahahahhahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahajajahauaauuaha I'm so funny

lol
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)

it’s just another intonation marker, a hedging particle, or a pragmatic tone indicator.
it signals thee sentence is for comradery, but not immediate action
lol
Get bent lol
Lol, just add it to the beginning, jk lol.
As an elder millennial, I don't use "lol," but you'll have to take : ) from my cold, dead hands.
: )

I actually used to hate it back in the day because it was so overused but then when I hit the Skype era, I succumbed to my friends and started spamming it along with lmao because it was easy to type on a keyboard with zero effort.
Also that one evolution extinction meme of all the dead ones like rofl and roflmao.
Rest in Spaghetti Never Forgetti lol
It's not that hard lol
Lol lmao
👋👏
I'm older gen Z and definitely use lol, lol
lol yeah this is very accurate lol
Millennials are in their 40’s ffs
That's why it's a middle aged guy in the meme. Also, it's goodo have older people talking like normal humans and not corporate chatbots.
not a millennial but lol
I know I overuse lol. I hate it. Lol
No, I'm not trying to do that. lol
I want you to know I'm not taking your request seriously lol
nah, we good. lol
i'm in this picture and i dont like it lol
For me the thing which i do the most is adding "..." Multiple times between the sentences or at the last of the sentences. 😭
I finally found out about the ellipses phenomenon amongst the older gen a while ago, and how it was a common format in writing that they tried to transfer to texting and millennials constantly misinterpret as it passive aggression, which causes all sorts of anxiety lol
Shit you not, once asked for a recommendation letter from a summer job employer on campus for an open mic music lounge I hadn't visited in a long time, and all he emailed me back was
"Sure..."
Needless to say, I thought "Oh fuck, he hates me. Nevermind. I should have come by more-" and never bothered to follow up on it lmfao

There's no difference between this and emojis. People use them out of nervousness.
