Communicating through text is hard. Apparently, reacting to the stupid things your hilarious friends say is also difficult, because you’ve invented “words” like haha
, lol
, rofl
, and lmao
to show when something is funny to you.
On top of the ridiculous words you’ve invented, it’s still impossible to tell when you think one thing is funnier than another thing. Is hahaha
more or less funny than lol
? More importantly, how badly do you plan to ruin the English language before you’re satisfied? Animals.
This system is designed to give you and your silly friends a uniform way to communicate your reaction to funny stuff. It’s pretty simple, but you should probably pay attention.
There are only three rules:
ha1
to ha10
.ha1
may also be expressed as a ha
.lol
ever again.
ha2
= Funny friend tricks you with an unexpected video.
ha9
= Hilarious friend sends you a Kevin Hart clip.
ha5
= Clown friend forwards a Hillary Clinton GIF.
ha1
= Jokster friend tells a “your mom” joke.
At the end of the day, your friends probably aren’t as funny as you think they are, but at least now we can all be on the same page with our reactions to humor. Please stop lol
ing.
To assist you in saving the world from lol
, you’ll probably want to download our iMessage sticker pack on the app store, and our custom Slack emoji as well.
If you think this is ha10
, you should probably go ahead and follow us on Twitter because we’re always this hilarious.
