# LMAO

LMAO (also LMFAO) stands for *laughing my (fucking) ass off*, alternative being a recursive acronym for *LMAOing my ass off*.

On this wiki we kind of use LMAO as a synonym to LULZ as used on Encyclopedia Dramatica.

## LMOA stuff

- There was a guy who made a whole game (named *DRAGON: A Game About a Dragon*), some 30000+ lines of code, without knowing about the concept of loops. He only ever used the if statement. (This was posted on reddit along with a portion of the code.)
- Here is a wholesome technology anecdote: in 1957 a Douglas DC3 airplane ran out of fuel in air and got abandoned by the crew who obviously decided to rather save their lives with parachutes and let the plane crash -- however later on they found the plane has landed near perfectly on its own on a field. Indeed when they discovered the plane was just fine, their words must have been just: "LMAO". This is not the only such case, something similar happened also in 1970 with a plane nicknamed *Cornfield Bomber*.
- In 1974 an absolute madman trolled a whole city in Alaska that stands under a volcano (Mount Edgecumbe). It was done for April fools': the guy waited three years for the right weather conditions (!!!), then flew 70 old tyres in a helicopter on top of the volcano and there set them on fire to make it seem like the volcano was about to erupt :D He sprayed "April Fool" next to the fire. fkn kek
  - The website [https://hoaxes.org](https://hoaxes.org/worstaprilfools.html) has a section on worst April fool's jokes and this one was among them. The other ones are hilarious too, for example in 2000 Romania announced they would release certain selected prisoners and when their families gathered in front of the prison, awaiting to be reunited with their relatives, they were told it was a joke :D Another morbid but funny joke was someone tying a dead Chihuahua to his friend's car so that when the friend drove home from work and got out of the car, it looked like someone tied a live Chihuahua to his car for a while and he then killed it. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
- In 2021 Alexa (the shitty Amazon voice spy agent) told a 10 year old to touch an electric plug with a penny after the kid asked her "for a challenge".
- In 2007 Wikipedia banned the whole country of Qatar because their vandalism filter blocked the single IP address 82.148.97.69 through which Qatar accesses the Internet, which causes a shitton of lulz.
- { I've seen a screenshot of code in which some guy exited the program by intentionally dividing by zero, the comment said it was the easiest way. ~drummyfish }
- Around 2015 some niggas got enraged when Google Photos tagged them as gorillas.
- The MMORPG *New World* by *Amazon Games* was programmed by retards (probably some diversity team) who made the client authoritative which allowed for fun such as becoming invincible by draggine the game window or duplicate currency with lag switches.
- In 2016 there was a progaming team in Halo called Mi Seng which in a broadcast game did a pretty funny thing: when they were leading they went into hiding in buggy spots and then just did nothing until the time ran out. Normies were crying, the commentators were pretty awkward, they considered this "unethical" xD We consider it pretty cool.
- In 2016 Micro$oft released a Twitter AI bot called Tay which was made to teach itself how to talk from the text on the Internet. It can be guessed it quickly became extremely racist and enraged waves of SJWs so they had to shut it down.
- The 2009 launch of Pokemon Platinum saw one of the coolest trollz ever: during the event someone (who actually wasn't caught but it's speculated it was a guy cosplaying as a Team Rocket) created photoshopped flyers announcing there would be an "official" giveaway of a special Pokemon. The wifi was of course coming from the perpetrator's device and when the kids collected the Pokemon, they received a Gengar named Nigger with stereotypical moves such as "thief" and "sucker punch". FUCKING KEK.
- Many funny stories come from 4chan. Like for example the "Katie's books" thread on /lit (number 5972700) wherein they accidentally bullied an innocent naive Internet girl they found on YouTube ("she sounds like her hymen is fully intact"). In 2012 they made masses of Justin Bieber fans shave their heads by spreading fake news that Bieber had cancer under the hashtag #BaldForBieber. In 2013 they made a similarly funny prank by making Justin Bieber fans cut themselves with another faked campaign #CuttingForBieber. In 2013 they made a huge number of Appletoddlers destroy their iPhones with fake ads that promoted a new "feature" that makes the phone waterproof via a software update. Similarly in 2014 they spread fake ads about a new iPhone "feature" that would let users charge their phones in a microwave. 4chan also hijacked many internet polls such as the Mountain Dew's poll for naming their new drink in 2012: people from 4chan raided the poll and chose the name "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong", with names such as "Diabeetus" or "Soda" as followers. Another raided poll was that of Taylor Swift about at which school she should perform -- 4chan mass voted for a school for deaf children which eventually won (Taylor Swift handled it by donating money to the school). 4chan also chose North Korea as a country for Justin Bieber's tour. Another hilarious story is from 2006 when 4chan raided the Habbo Hotel (a MMO game mostly for children); they made shitton of black characters with afros, went around blocking players from accessing game areas, grouping to form swastikas and famously blocking a hotel pool with the sign "Pool's closed due to AIDS".
- In 2022 a proprietary "smart home" company Insteon got into financial trouble, shut down its servers and left people without functioning houses.
- In the 1985 book *Big Score: The Billion-Dollar Story: The Billion-Dollar Story of Silicon Valley* there is a nice chapter talking about the manufacturing of integrated chips that explains how the process is (or at least used to be) very unpredictable and how it's basically astrology for the managers to try to predict and maximize the yield rates (the percentage of manufactured chips that function correctly). There were companies whose research showed the number of good chips correlated with the phases of the Moon, another one found that chips were destroyed by tiny droplets of piss on the hands of workers who didn't wash their hands and that women workers during menstruation destroyed more chips because of the increased amount of oil secreted from their hands.
- In 2018 Hungary banned gender studies as ideology that has nothing in common with science :D
- The unexpected assassination of Lord British in Ultima Online in 1997 was pretty funny. Tldr.: basically the "CEO" of the game, a kind of God, logged into the game and went on to give some speech or something in front of a crowd but forgot to turn on the god mode, someone casted a fire spell on him for the lulz and killed him, then chaos and lulz indeed ensued.
- Elizabeth Holmes
- In 2019 a progaming ("esports") organization Vaevictis tried to make an all-female League of Legends team, which would be the first such team in the high progaming league. The team quickly failed, it can't even be described how badly they played, of course they didn't even have a hope of gaining a single win, they gained several world records for their failures such as the fastest loss (13 minutes), eventually they got fired from the league xD
- On March 4 2006 in World of Warcraft the Alliance guild *Serenity Now* raided a funeral held by Horde players for a guild member that died in real life, nuking the whole ceremony and shitting on their social rituals -- we give this a thumbs up. Though Alliance are usually the lame players, this was one of the best things that was ever done in the game, it made normies literally cry and scream because for some reason it triggered something in their brain. Also WTF do you expect when you're making a funeral in a PvP zone, that was quite retarded.
- In 2022 a bug in SMART Mazda cars forced their "owners" to listen to some shitty public radio without being able to change the station. TFW "modern" bloattech made by diversity teams.
- { At my uni a professor told us some guy turned in an assignment program but forgot to remove the debug prints. The fun part was he was using prints such as "my dick is X cm long" where X was the debug value. So beware of that. ~drummyfish }
- { Some time in May 2023 I've seen a guy try to upload a "2D game sprite" to opengameart but accidentally uploading a screenshot of him asking ChatGPT how to make a game in Python lol. I SWEAR I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. ~drummyfish }
- Some people believe there is a fictional whole number between 6 and 7 called thrembo.
- Some company was accused of racism when its policies forbid hiring people with criminal history, the accusation was that such policy is discriminatory against black people. This left many SJWs scratching their heads in confusion -- are the accusers in fact good because they help black people get jobs or bad because they assume criminals are mostly black? :D
- 4chan's commentary on transsexuals in Awesome Games Done Quick (speedrunning event now infected by trannies): "these trannies look like they did transition any% instead of 100%".
- Starting in 1994 some based chad stared calling restaurants, pretending to be a police officer, ordering strip searches to be performed on employees and sometimes even customers :D Told you 90s were awesome. This took prank calls to a whole new level.
- { Once a friend had trouble compiling something, so I asked what error the compiler gave. He said it printed this: `error: too many errors`. Thank you very much compiler :D ~drummyfish }
- Lizard Squad was a "hacker" group that brought a shitton of lulz in mid 2010s by DDOSing various faggot child games and corporation while laughing at the FBI who was absolutely powerless as they were of course hiding behind 7 proxies. The whole story is very funny, especially notable is how they literally **ruined the Christmas in 2014** by taking down PlayStation an XBox servers on Christmas day so that little children (and big manchildren) couldn't play games they received as presents LMAO :D They claimed it's very sad that kids can no longer entertain themselves if a game goes off for a few hours, which is absolutely true and on point, but corporations indeed weren't happy and their managers shit their pants. (We also add it's quite retarded that video games no longer function without connecting to the Internet, which is absolutely how the corpos wanted it, so they should be to blame in the first place). But that's not all, they did this all despite various "white knight hackers", self proclaimed "crime fighting ETHICAL MORAL keyboard warriors" that just couldn't do anything and had to just ragequit. No that's not all still, the Lizard Squad also literally **DDOSed North Korea and shut down its Internet** just because :D Anyone who badmouthed the lizards on twitter got a website hacked, one rich faggot in a suit got his plane delay by reports of bombs on the plane because he expressed hostility against them. Some of the members got sadly arrested in the end due to some stupid mistake, but their achievements remain legendary.
- God's miracle caught on stream! On April 5th 2013 a "disabled" twitch streamer ZilianOP who was supposedly paralyzed and couldn't walk forgot for a while during live stream that he was paralyzed, he stood up from the wheelchair and went for something, revealing he was in fact just faking the disability so as to be considered an American hero and get more of those viewers seeking inspirational motivators or something :D I'M DISABLED BUT STILL PLAY VIDEO GAMES, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE! He then hilariously tried to cover it up along with his girlfriend, saying shit like "nonono, I fell from the chair" and then switching to "I could walk a bit thanks to therapy but I was keeping it secret because I wanted to surprise my girlfriend", you wouldn't believe to what lengths they went lol. On the other hand if you're white and not a female with large breasts, being disabled is the only chance to ever get any views, so can we really blame him?
- On occasion reddit offered its fair share of quality material as well, for example one TIFU (today I fucked up... might actually even have been the TIL subreddit lol) thread recounted a true story of a guy who grew up well into adulthood thinking that toilet seats were ONLY MEANT TO BE USED BY WOMEN and that men simply sit on the cold toilet edge when they shit :D Apparently no one ever taught him and he only learned about the fact that men can use the seat too when he was buying a new toilet seat and joked with the salesman by saying something along the lines of "haha, if I didn't have a wife I wouldn't have to be spending money on toilet seats" -- then when the guy just stared in confusion all came to be revealed.
- In 1991 Gerald Ratner, an incredibly stupid CEO (just like every other CEO) of some kind of "big game" jewelry company, delivered what is generally regarded to be the worst speech in history. In it he awkwardly attempted
to deliver prepared jokes (see also humorwashing) that were not just poor but downright retarded, for example he stated: *People ask me "How can you sell for such low prices?" I say "because it's total crap".* This backfired so much that the company's value fell down by 500 million pounds lol.
- As highlighted by [this kiwifarm post](https://kiwifarms.net/threads/reddit-general.8257/post-4264129), some idiot on reddit asked for help with his CV and posted it unredacted for everyone to see. How could it go wrong, right? The Internet took the challenge :D Someone downloaded the CV, modified it slightly by adding various lulz such as "racist" keywords and sent it to dozens of companies as an application. OP got swiftly blacklisted by all companies and even got calls from the managers asking how he could be such a human monster :D Great job.
- Epic trollz were conducted sometime in early 2020s by tinyviolin69 in World of Warcraft, most noteworthy of which was probably the following. He played on the hardcore server where character deaths are permanent, i.e. if you put 10000 hours into leveling and gearing up an epic character and then die in any way, even by slipping off of a slightly higher cliff, it's all gone to shit, the character's gone and you need to start over. The guy leveled up a high level character, entered a guild, gained their trust and then, in a raid that was carefully planned and discussed for hours so that no one would die, he deliberately fucked up so that basically everyone died :D He practically destroyed years worth of "work" of many children that day, they all cried like little babies. We applaud this, it's very stupid for anyone to attach to a video game like these children, AND especially to a permadeath game. The game is also gay as fuck, this is the only fun that can be had in it nowadays.
- Soyjak.party is a bunch of degenerate zoomer children, but it must be admitted their raids are very funny, for example the **Jackbox raids** (documented at https://wiki.soyjak.st/Jackbox_raiding) in which they troll tranny Twitch stremers via shitty Twitch minigames by spamming niggers, swastikas, gay porn and stuff alike :D Imagine audience of thousand little kids suddenly seeing someone win a shitty marble race with a profile picture of hanged tranny or a guy in Team Fortress putting a sign with stretched male anus right in front of the streamer's camera :D All the videos of this are available on their wiki. LMAO now they started to make "kid videos" on YouTube, soyjaks teaching them how to count and shit, sneakily redpilling the 3 year olds ([source](https://kiwifarms.st/threads/community-feature-submissions.114933/page-64#post-15029010)).
- In 2018 a fire destroyed some shitty american camp and the insurance claims made the faggot insurance company shit itself cause it didn't have enough money to pay all the faggots :D capitalist moment
- The most humiliating defeat in Warcraft III's history was probably the match of WEG 2005 between Moon (Korea, considered by some the GOAT) playing as Night Elf race and Tod (France) playing as Human. The game is known for allowing a lot of cheesy strats and trolls, but on the highest levels it's still rare to win with a lulzy strat. Still Moon was so incredibly good he managed to do the following: he reached the ultimate spell which allows to steal the enemy units, he then stole Tod's worker which enabled him to start creating buildings of the human race, i.e. buildings that for him as an elf aren't normally available, then built a human town, trained human units and beat Tod with the units of his own race. To this day Tod gets quite irritated when asked about this in interviews.
- Some parents trolled their children by giving them the same name lol, see [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/namenerds/comments/5wltvf/same_first_name_for_siblings/?rdt=42972).
- There is some crazy ass Irish priest called Neil Horan, now stripped of his priesthood (:D), that could hold the world record for most IRL trolls and just being weird as fuck in general. Of course he's done all the usual business like walking in streets with antisemitic banners and "sexually harassing" children, but he dared go much further and even ran onto a formula one track during the race, literally risking his life. Very funny was his stunt during 2004 Olympic gaymes where he ran on the marathon track and pushed the guy who was leading the race into the spectators, just for the lulz :D The runner was shaken and finished third. He actually tried to appeal for a gold medal in court but the court said nope :D
- In 2024 the twitter account of Greta Thunberg's father, Svante Thunberg, was hijacked by soyjak.party and started posting some funny stuff about niggas, telling Greta she was adopted, offending journalists in DMs and so on.
- Some trollolo gentleman in 1810 London fucked up some random guy from his street by ordering thousands of services to his house, he just sat and watched the madness as coal deliveries and sweep services and even piano deliveries flooded the poor man's door lol. He did it for a bet.
- In 2022 a chess robot in Russia was playing a 7 year old child, the robot wanted to grab a piece but instead took the kid's finger and broke it.
- In 1992 someone tried to legally change his name to Misteri Nigger.
