I voice chat with friends on Discord pretty regularly. I have one friend who, instead of laughing, will click a laugh track on our soundboard, filling the voice chat with boisterous sitcom laughter. I don't know why, but that's kind of unsettling.
It's like posting "lol" or "roflmao" in text, when your face doesn't even change IRL. Except we're voice chatting, so he's using a laugh track instead of "lol."
People who send audio of themselves laughing are the same people who shove multivitamins in their urethra. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they also eat fermented chocolate egg salad sandwiches on public transit too. Fuck those people.
The same fucks that microwave their two day old leftover Surströmming at work because they live alone and made too much and are "just trying to get rid of it, ha ha ha"
lol serves its own grammatical function now I reckon.
It's a marker for response to irony (actual irony, Americans...), or as a way to indicate you think something is stupid to the point of humour, or as a kind of "that tracks".
Or at least, that's how it's used amongst people my age in Australia.
I don't think I use it in a positive sense at all any more
It is an evolution of the old "asdasdasd", which popped into existence because it's easier to type into game chat without lifting your left hand off the WASD keys.
I once heard a young man laugh asdasdasd out loud. As in he actually made the sound "asdasdasd" when laughing instead of the more natural haha sound. Bizarre experience it was.

That kind of thing is funny if done infrequently but annoying if it's all the time. I hope your friend does actually laugh a good chunk of the time
cobysev@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 159d
I don't think I've ever heard him laugh.

Fascinating! I still use it unironically mostly.
Another one brought to my attention is ROFL. Though personally that one has aged out.

Two small children were terrified of a harmless rabbit, thus defying expectations in a humorous manner.
