    But plenty of millennials did for sure. I’m 1987, was never a loler myself, but am certainly familiar enough with it.

    And admittedly, I have used it. My buddy and I used to sit in his room playing red alert 2, and one of us would do something dumb and the other would type “lol,” and then look across the room with a straight face. So I always imagined someone typing lol to be doing so with a completely straight face, the complete opposite of laughing out loud.
