Are we still pretending "lol" is not just a piece of grammar now?
There was a time when we used to reserve these kinds of jokes for April fool's day.
I hate April fool's day but if it was these kinds of jokes, I'd be very amused.
But does it work for ROFLMAO?
For me at least, it's more like "slight exhale through nose"
I absolutely love this. I'm glad that local machine learning is within reach for everyday hobbyists and not entirely limited to big organizations with deep pockets or experts. This may be a dumb joke, but the tech is there to make loads of useful things.
It reminds me of a more tech-oriented version of the hilarious 'Unnecessary Inventions' guy who makes great unnecessary (not: not useless) inventions - you may enjoy his channel if you like this:
Cool. How about a device that gives you a mild jolt if you write that you are "shocked, shocked" to discover something.
I love this idea. Concepts like this is useful for making a tighter connection between the real world and the online world.
if you exclaim 'lol!' it lets you type 'lolol'
Offtop
lol doesnt mean just laughed...
It also means being shocked or surprised "lol?"
For some reason people who try to define lol often miss that 2nd, popular meaning
I once proposed to some people I know getting started in app development an idea: the app would listen to what you say and if you said the word "gĂĽey" more than five times in a 24 hour window it would give you an electric shock.
I was only about four fifths joking.
This is pointless because the code should be verifying the expression IALOL'd., as LOL is not intended to express actual laughter. Just saying.
OK I wouldn't lie, I didn't LOL but I chuckled pretty loudly.
What if I said LOL for "lots of love" instead?

My beard just got some grey in it when I laughed in my head and didn’t reply “rol”, the entirely opt in lol-verifier that we all used to treat as sacred.
Can it differentiate laughing and crying?
Haha! Brilliant. Next is to configure based on "highness"....
But can you type "vexillology" without laughing?
...some men just want to watch the world burn
Shout out to, "bahaha".
how about LMAO thogh?
Let's be honest, in most contexts lol is just a smile and a good feeling.
When I was at school around 2003 I actually heard someone yell out across the cafeteria "you're so f*king lol!", in swedish. It was used as a verb.
LOS
lol
The crystalologist wept, for they had dropped their lollipop on the floor.
Now do one for the French equivalent MDR.
Now make one that shocks you when you don't literally laugh your ass off.
Lol
that's funny
Video doesn’t play - is HN capable of breaking Twitter now?
[dead]
ok, boomer.
lol today means "yeah, rigth"
Back in my youth, I had a friend on AIM who excessively typed “lol”. We ended up talking on the phone once and I was surprised to learn that (a) she actually did laugh out loud approximately that frequently and (b) it was more of a nervous giggle, and not so much a full-throated laugh.
