その発想はなかったwww
I never would have thought of that hahaha.
昨日の配信、めっちゃ面白かったwww
Yesterday's stream was hilarious lol.
この猫の顔、ブサイクすぎて逆に可愛いwww
This cat's face is so ugly it's actually cute lol.
全然話が入ってこないwww
I can't process what you're saying at all (because it's too funny/absurd) lol.
もうやめて、お腹痛いwwwwww
Stop it already, my stomach hurts from laughing lmaoooo.
Imagine a laugh building up inside you. One 'w' is a small smile. 'ww' is a little chuckle. 'www' is a good laugh. Many 'w's mean you are laughing very hard.
This is like saying "LOL" online. It shows you are laughing a lot. It is stronger than "w" or "ww". It is not as old as "(笑)". It led to "草" because many "w"s look like grass.
Don't use this when you need to be polite. For example, don't use it in a work email. It is only for very casual online talk. It is like internet slang. People use it on social media or when playing games. Using it in serious situations looks very unprofessional.
