Originally meant "laughing out loud," but according to linguist and 'TED Talks' guest, John McWhorter, "lol" eventually came to be used as a pragmatic particle or verbal space filler, if you will, before finally evolving to it's current state of popular use as a marker of empathy, accommodation, or understanding, quite often of something that isn't a great thing.
Nowadays when people say "lol," you can obviously see that it no longer means "laughing out loud," and that it more likely means something like "Well shit! The struggle is real but the thing you're talking about probably won't turn out 'too' bad compared to, oh I dunno, literal Satan, for example."
