I never LOL….. I might snigger or “snerk”, chuckle or grin. I have been known to type,“ROTFLMTO” on this site just so that younger people might understand.
LOL= Laugh Out Loud. People who don’t know have used that abbreviation on sympathy notes thinking it means “Lots Of Love”,causing many an awkward moment. Don’t be that guy.
I remember when my mother and her various correspondents used Ha Ha frequently and often a tad sarcastically. As in, "Jimmie’s new girl friend is a beauty. Ha Ha (I know this because I often read the mail when she put it down.)

And all this time I thought LOL was short for LOLA. Had NO idea what they were all talking about.

What do they call people who put LOL on everything, even things that aren’t funny, or even supposed to be funny?

LOL DID mean “lots of love” when I was in high school in the 80’s… :/

LOL has always meant lots of love to me, and since I never write to describe a noise coming from my body, it will remain so.
