    I thought “lol” was short for “Just wanted to let you know that I’m a millennial so you can better understand where I’m coming from with this comment.”

    Does it have a different meaning?

      Honestly that’s probably pretty accurate. Usually though, at least for me, it also functions to let people people know what I’m saying is lighthearted or fun but sincere. It’s kind of the opposite of /s. But yeah I imagine it’s a millennial thing though I’ve never given it too much thought
