Short for "laugh out loud". It is supposed to be used for the purpose of showing others that you liked what they said to the point that it makes you laugh intensely but as usual it has been mistakenly used on the internet (and mostly by teenagers) who just apply it to almost every one of their sentences.
At the moment it's meaning has been altered due to what is mentioned above and it should be considered as a mixed expression of 1.liking, 2.surprise, 3.question, 4.undefined emotion and 5. when you face something unbelievable.
It is definitely not as strong as laughing out loud, it is a common abbreviation, a tad closer to funny but it can be used pretty much everywhere (ok don't use it if you are reffering to something sad, that is going to be uncool).

a certain someone always says “lol” to actually end a conversation due to being a devil or just because it’s funny (even though it’s not)
hi *name*
“lol”
or another one is lmao or aha!

The abbreviation LOL means Laugh Out Loud/Laughing Out Loud or Leauge Of Legends. It is used if you are LVH(Laughing Very Hard) and it is to express your feelings. On the other hand, LOL is a game. Leauge Of Legends. Don't thank me, TY! Also YW!
