| Thank you for this important work, I LOLed but did not ROFL.

| Maybe your next work can be a sarcasm verifier.

| Reminds me of the browser plug-in that automatically downvotes HN

| The same plug-in that auto-downvotes comments that start with
| "So..." or "I mean."

| Not sure if I should self-censor and remove this... /edit)

| You can combine the LOL Verifier with a special map (sold
| separately) to build the ROTFLOL Verifier.

| Glad this has arrived.
|
| The most frustrating thing about LOL is integrity - or lack of
| integrity.
|
| I feel LOL is thrown about without being backed by real world
| action and it's devaluing the core and origins of the true LOL.
|
| I guess I just don't trust LOL any more and a device like this
| will go al long way towards restoring that faith. Hopefully it
| gets built into phones and computers in the future.
|
| And as for ROFL....

| For ROFL there's a mat with sensors or something like Xbox

| More feature requests:
|
| - Non-repudability: I like big laughs and I can't deny.
|
| - Copyright protection: store a database of LOL hashes and send
| DMCA takedowns for anyone who's stealing your thunder.
|
| - LOLspotter for low-income ghettos: track down incels who spend
| all night in their parents' basements watching Twitch.
|
| - Humour check: feed the original joke to ChatGPT to make sure it
| was actually funny.

| Funny little project, though the days where "lol" meant something
| was truly funny have long past. The way we use the word today is
| actually very important to conveying tone over text, and so I
| don't know if I would call an "lol" without laughter inauthentic
| as much as it is reflective of a relatively new kind of
| communication.

| Just like in real life, the quality of your conversation
| depends on the company you keep.

| I still use lol to mean "I would've laughed if this was an

| from a slight giggle to more intense laughter.

| Two brief exhalations of air from the nose in quick
