    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

    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

    As an elder millennial, I don't use "lol," but you'll have to take : ) from my cold, dead hands.

    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

    Yeah, I never became a lol'er, dunno whether or of spite or what, but haha was my go-to response for someone said something that I'm supposed to express some reaction of humor to. Heh sometimes. Ha has a different feel to it.

    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)

    I'm a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending "lol" with every message won't see a lot of responses from me.

    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

    For me and the ppl I chatted/texted with was it mostly smiles like: xD xP XD xd x3 and the laughing was haha, hahahahaha, HAHAHA, sometimes lol and rofl but most of the times were lol used as a way to say "that was weird" or "that is stupid", could also be a question "is it supposed to be funny?" Or a statement about what you said or will say "I am silly" so ppl would know they can find it funny/it is ok to laugh.

    I rarely used lol for actually laughing, it was more used as "that/this is silly". I think the younger millenniums said lol and rofl instead of smilies more often but I am unsure about that one.

    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
