When you read lol, do you mentally think 'lawl' or 'laugh out loud'?

Just wondering. Bored. I've always wondering how it's mentally thought of when you guys read it over. Personally I go 'lawl' in my head.

I've never read or heard it as 'lawl' in my life. When I see lol, I understand that it translates to "that wasn't too funny, but I'll say 'lol' to be polite." When someone's REALLY laughing, they type 'hahaha'

I pretty much just ignore it. Years of practicing speed reading really helps eliminate wasted time on useless words.

I guess if I was specifically trying to read it, I would pronounce it like it's spelled.
