Originally meant to abbreviate the phrase "laugh out loud" when something was funny, now it just basically abbreviate "i have nothing left to say, but i dont want to think im going to ignore you, so heres a small 3 letter word to remind you im not ignoring you".
Guy 1: so me and Joe were at the zoo the other day and we saw a rhino give birth. pretty amazing.
Guy 2: lol
Guy 1: My fish just died.
Guy 2: lol
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).
1. --I bought this little cute cotton dolphin for my little nephew when i went to the mall today.
-- Lol that sounds lovely
2. --And as i was out for a small walk the other day, i met Tom, i haven't seen that guy since we were together in the army.
-- Lol, nice man, i would like to catch up with him too, someday
3. --I decided to change my profile picture yesterday
-- Lol, why did you do that?

It is used mostly on social media or by people who don't know any other word to say. Most of the time it is used if somebody says something funny or if the speaker just wants somebody to shut up after talking.
John: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Samuel: Idk and idc.
John: to get the cluck away from you!
Samuel: lol.
The term "Lol" means Lack Of Liberty.
Someone could use the term "Lol" to describe current events in the world, such as how Myanmar is going through a military coup, or the global quarantine lockdowns and various mandates of sorts.
Dude #1 "Wow, this year I felt like there was a huge Lol during quarantine."
Guy #2 "I know man, so many restrictions and mandates are making me a little uneasy."
Dude #1 "Well, all we have are the moments that can be made."
Guy #2 "Dude, this is why you and I are awesome friends, man."
