Facebook finds no one uses lol anymore

Typing “lol” is no longer the right way to show that you’re laughing at something…or cracked a grin if you were really being honest.

Facebook conducted a study to find how people laugh on the internet. It took the posts of its users and organised them into four categories - “haha”, “hehe”, “lol” and “emoji”.

The site found that just 1.9% of users wrote “lol,” while a whopping 51.4% used “haha” or some variant. Emoji was the second biggest way of communicating a laugh with 33.7%, while “hehe” managed to stake a 13.1% claim.
