bonus question:

what does it mean to be too online anymore?

      That’s a pretty wide net. Lol has been part of chat and text for ages. Even rarely online individuals instinctively use it in those environments. Or do you mean using it unironically in face to face conversations? Then I’d agree.

        Yeah, spoken “lol” in place of saying “that’s funny” or, y’know, actually laughing.

          Woof, yeah come across that a few times. Some gentle ribbing was usually enough to snap them out of it haha.

      I’ve heard someone actually say “poggers” in a real person to person conversation.
