A short way to express laughter in typing, rather than type "ha ha" which might be mistaken to somebody as a more offensive laugh. A more convenient way to express laughter than "I'm laughing hard." If it is said in person, this could mean the speaker is incredably lame, stupid, or ignorant, or is addicted to games.
John: So my friend got tripped today.
Jim: Ha ha!
John: Hey, shut up, he wasn't expecting it!
Jim: Err.. what I meant to say was: lol that sucks
John: Oh, okay.
Jim: Ha ha!
John: Hey, shut up, he wasn't expecting it!
Jim: Err.. what I meant to say was: lol that sucks
John: Oh, okay.

lol- laughing out loud
For all y'all adults out there lol does not mean "lots of love" it means LAUGHING OUT LOUD. So when your mom dies don't send your kids the text: "hey hun grandma just died lol : '(" NOT THAT HARD!!!
So for example oh my gosh lol that gif was so funny!

an acronym for laugh out loud or lots of laughs or lots of love is a popular element of Internet slang. It was first used almost exclusively on Usenet, but has since become widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication and even face-to-face communication.
LOL is used mostly in the closing of a paragraph .... like, Yours Truly was used by your grandmother.
