@prettygood I’ve seen 4chan transition from lol -> lel -> kek circa 2013 or so. I was there.

But actually World of Warcraft invented kek in 2004.

@eal @SuperDicq @snacks @prettygood kek i might be mistaken but i think "kek" is what you see as alliance player when horde player says "lol" in WoW

@hj @SuperDicq @snacks @prettygood there definitely was a lol->lel->kek->wew->jej->[...] devolution of the phrase on 4chan

that could be the original sighting of kek, maybe?
