What's the origin of this meme? It looks like when Peter Parker was bit by the spider in Spider-Man 1967.

That sounds right. I can't seem to find confirmation though

I don't think I've ever done that. I've always used normal punctuation, except for in my teens, where we all used ellipsis (…) at the end of every sentence to indicate that more was coming. ICQ was the shit. Messaging apps even copied this by adding a bouncing ellipsis when you're typing. Maybe that's why we stopped using it.

I'm a millennial and I've always preferred to say haha since like the last year or two of msn. Think I last used lol when I had a T9 phone

I haven't used "lol" in a long time, but started to do this earlier today and had to stop myself.

I feel seen.

Dammit I was hoping we wouldn't get memes based on us as we were there when the memes were conceived.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I wouldn't put it past a self-deprecating millennial to have made this meme.
