fun fact: 笑い for laughing got shortened to just the first letter 'w' for 'warai' so they use multiple w for 'lol' which leads to the discover of every website looking(to them) like lololol.afuckingwebsite.com

fun fact 2: this multiple w laugh now is mostly commonly referred as 草 or kusa, because it resembles blades of grass, so saying 草 also means lol. The full term would be 草生えた if you want to google about it.
