Funny I always used “kk” as a faster way to type “ok.”
I wonder how many times that’s been interpreted as me laughing by.

Wasnt it bcs alliance text appeared different to horde and kek translated to lol
Yeah or the other way around. I thought I saw orcs kek’ing as an alliance character. They’d mangle text spoken in languages you didn’t know, and horde / alliance did not have any language overlap.
Correct, if you were Alliance and a Horde character near you typed "lol" it would appear as "kek".

Only for those that don't speak the language. German humor is not that different from British dark/satiric humor and there is plenty of it around here.
I definitely don't see much German humor around here. This place tends to be pretty dry.
I suggest attending some Poetry Slam rounds, NightWash sessions, or some mix of Dieter Nuhr, Torsten Sträter, Bülent Ceylan, Jan Böhmermann, Felix Lobrecht among others.
Plenty of humor styles to chose from.

#65A few more unique laughs I recall, in Russian: Бгг: more of a guffaw, or a "heh" Ржунимагу: "Laughing, I can't [stop]", close to LMAO or ROFL
Those are from the 00's and are not used anymore.

I don't speak or read Korean, but I think kekeke might be a transliteration of ㅋㅋㅋ - I've seen that frequently enough in Korean language comments on YouTube that I've looked it up before. A quick web search led me to more Korean lols and hahas... https://domandhyo.com/2017/07/lol-in-korean-%E3%85%8B%E3%85%...
ㅋㅋㅋ is literally “kkk” but it’s shorthand for 크크크 (keukeukeu). There’s also ㅎㅎㅎ (hhh) that shorthand for 하하하 (hahaha). It’s much faster to just mash out those single consonants, sort of like keyboard spam laughing.
ㅎㅎㅎ is definietly not for 하하하. It's more like 흐흐흐 or 히히히, just like hehe in English.
