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

        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.

      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.

      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 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.

    Related question:

    When you’re using push-to-talk in a voice chat lobby, and someone tells a really funny joke. Do y’all mic up so the homie knows you think they’re funny? Especially in lobbies where everyone is using PTT it can be really awkward when someone tells a joke, there’s silence for a second or two (while everyone laughs off-mic) and then one person meekishly keys up with a “heheheh”

    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.

      You can say something like nice or good one, or react to the message with an appropriate or intentionally silly emoji
