It's pretty neat to me that we've created this weird language around laugh onomatopoeia.

There's a very different tone and meaning between "ha", "hah", "haha", "hahah" and "hahaha", and I think most people can pick up on it with very little exposure without ever actually being told the difference, or even being able to explain the difference in words. I'd be willing to bet that 30 years ago, it would have been far less of a ubiquitous experience.

Here's a great article about the nuances of various options.

I am not sure what that hah and hahah variants mean to be honest, not sure if I ever saw them in real life.

"Hah" might be a questioning laugh

What about lol squad?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Aw boo, the damn thing won’t let me load a video of me laughing to this joke, which would be kind of a mediocre chuckle where you could sense a subtle lack of sincerity.

My friend and I still use "xD", has this gone extremely out of fashion since I left middle school?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

RuneScape got me out of the habit of doing this because it always forced the first letter to be a capital and the remaining to be lower-case.

Xd just doesn’t have the same ring to it

It’s the children who are wrong

I picked up

From somewhere ages ago and I find myself doing it by reflex now, that's like the only one of those I ever really used but boy did it stick. The little bit of offset on the eyes in most fonts really gives it that je ne sais quoi that I crave.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I've used xD since I began using the internet as a kid and I have no plans of stopping.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I once broke up with someone because he couldn't stop using ^^ after every sentence even in the middle of a serious discussion/argument

Peter I swear to God if this is how we meet again I'll lose it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

Sarah, is this you?^^ Please, come back!^^ LYSM xoxoxo Peter

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

Considering I've heard a few people say "xD", probably not. But hey, probably not that weird, there's UwU which is often read that way.

i use it and wonder what people think when i do. they never seem to react negatively. maybe they're silently judging me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think a "People who use ____ as seen by people who use ____" grid meme would also be fun.
