Future etymologists will conjecture that it has something to do with the popularization of an obscure lichen meme combined with a contraction of the word "submissive" within the BDSM context, and only started being used as an ironic punctuation to statements after another popular meme, similar to the origin of how "F" is used as a common, brief response to a tragedy.

Lichen Sub-Scribe. Clearly a fungal person who is notating every occurrence and likes to be dommed.

Slightly offtopic:

When I go to the source in my browser, I see that this toot has been boosted roughly 800 times and roughly 1400 favorites.

However, when I go to this toot via my Mastodon app, I'm seeing 256 boosts and 1 favourite.

Why is this different in my app vs the fosstodon link to the toot?

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 5 months ago

similar boat here: what I’ve noticed is that, on your instance, 'foreign' toots will only show the favourites coming from your instance. So, if 3 people from your instance favourited a toot that has 1500 favs total, you will only see 3 next to the star

this isn’t true for boosts, and I don’t know what causes the difference there. Its probably something to do with an incomplete federation (either because of blocks or simply because your server isn’t aware of all the others; I’ve noticed that the difference is much larger now that I’m on a smaller instance with less connections), but I’m not sure

for toots coming from other people on your instance, you will see the full count on both favs and boosts

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

Maybe the instance you’re logged into on your Mastodon app defederated from some others? Hmm

We live in Czechia and my SO is teacher in local school. She asked a 6th grade girl what she wants to draw today and she literally responded "IDK". It's kind off weird how internet slang is slowly merging in everyday IRL vocabulary.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

When I was younger, there were people who would actually say lol. I wouldn't say it's new, but I think the advent of the internet has certainly accelerated some aspects of linguistic evolution.

It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall in a couple hundred years' time to see where English goes from here.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I do this, I hate it, but I can't get rid of it so I've started to accept it.

for me "lol" and "lmao" are desperately trying to replace non-lexical sounds of amusement like "hah!" and "eeey!"

I mean it's kinda same when people say www instead of world wide web, even though the word has less syllable than the letter

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Probably. Ask a teacher.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

it was a rhetorical question that only served as a vehicle for me to utilize "chat".
