In World of Warcraft the two player factions horde and alliance can't talk to each other in game. There is a text garbler the mixes things up. When a horde player types lol the alliance player sees kek.
Kek I believe comes from koreas version of hehehe which was kekeke, which then was shortened to kek as a rip off of lol.
Then kek was found to be an ancient egyption god of chaos and now is used in place of LOL or to comment on the nature of kek the god of chaos.
Koreans type “kkk” for laughter, it comes from the sound 크크크 which is shortened to ㅋㅋㅋ for brevity. I don’t think this is the source for “kek,” but now that you mention it I may just start using “kkk” instead of “lol.”
I know that in World of Warcraft the horde and alliance speak diff languages. So in game hello from an alliance human would look like gibberish to a horde player and vice versa. I remember when I played WOTLK that some people figured out that if a horde player said “kek” it would equal lol for alliance players. So I always thought the kek thing meant lol.
This would be incredible. Dems lock themselves up and have to communicate through Zoom. Trump has been monitoring them through the EO. Lets them set their own trap
I'm a curious person so my dad and I were talking about Adams last night. We decided he can say what he wants because he doesn't need to pander to the left to maintain employment like many Hollywood types. I said that being a very popular and clever cartoonist, I'm sure he's made plenty enough to relax and not worry.
Just looked today and read that his net worth is $80 million according to one quick article. Imagining give or take a few, he's probably doing just fine.
How about if you're on a Zoom call (don't use Zoom anyway, unless you want Xi in on the call) you don't release the Kraken at all. Maybe leave the call and go into the bathroom first.
You can laugh at this but I bet everyone of you were toob’n it with your phone powered on and nearby with it’s ever watchful eye. Your mom is going to receive a video of you pounding it out when the NSA decides to send it out to silence you. Yeah now you cannot unread this. That’s right, hide your phone under the pillow before you start toob’n it. I live in your head now, free real estate dot com. Don’t cry.
inner toobins for the left.
Kraken is in Oak Ridge Tn https://news.utk.edu/2009/11/16/kraken-worlds-third-most-powerful-computer/
I hope this is what she meant, and I hope they use it.
The REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs from the thoroughly indoctrinated and ridiculous UT "community" will be epic.
University of Texas has retreated to their safe space.
Tennessee
Same thing.
Ackchually, all my exes live in Texas, which is why I reside in Tennessee.
Um jelly. This state is not big enough. She was special.
Soros and his investment minion, Loeb, bought in big to Kraken's now-parent company, Palentir, just about a week ago.
Now they suddenly both want out, after the stock price suddenly skyrocketed.
Meanwhile, it has come out that the supposedly "decomissioned" Kraken has been in charge of contact tracing every kung flu case in America.
Not sure what is scarier that thing existing in my state or the rednecks running it.
Oak Ridge, so it's probably nuclear research related.
It'll heat an out door stadium event I bet.

I'm old, I know LOL, what is KEK?
Kek is just another way of saying lol. I think it comes from a video game if I’m not mistaken.
I thought it was just a typo that anons picked up on and turned into a meme
When a faction in Warcraft types lol the other faction sees kek
Or Bur depending on faction.
praise Kek.
Dooood.

It can be, just look at a keyboard. Was also used for lol in Wow because of the way it translated horde speak.
No bro, it was alliance speak...Filthy Ally!
Alliance translated lol to bur for horde.
Horde translated lol to kek for alliance.
That's right. I completely forgot about it. LOL thank you!
Alliance scum downvoted you.
Twice!!!

Hope that helps.
Edit: Why the downvote ? It's true. KEK!

I’d advise against using kkk for that unless you’re a fan of Senator Byrd. You might inadvertently summon his spirit.
Obviously joking idk why dowm votes
Because some people are kinda dumb.
I’ve 100% seen Jaedong type Kek with loads of other Korean broodwar/Starcraft players sooooo kek off
Oh, idk about the Q thing.

Nope. Kek is lol in Korean I believe. Also the name of the Egyptian god of chaos. Who is a frog, btw.
If you want the deep dive history on KEK: HERE
(Parts one and two also worth reading)
☝️ THIS is what people need to read.
I mean, how many newbs do we have here?? If you served in the meme war of '16, you are a Pede and know damn well what Kek is all about.
Rare Pepe's!!
Praise Kek!
Shadilay!!
Get that guy a coat.
Username checks out
Egyptian god of chaos 🐸
Finally someone gets it!
praise Kek!!!!
It's a sort of 4chan, right-wing counterculture version of "lol" associated with Pepe
It actually comes from World of Warcraft: when a Horde character says lol an Alliance character sees kek and vice versa.
Yeah, what I meant to say is that if you say kek as an alliance a hordie would see lol.
I disapprove of this comment.
Can someone explain this to me? I smoothbrain
That's the New Yorker and CNN guy who started jacking it on a zoom call.
Did you see the hoes on that call no wonder he was jerking it
well lay off the spicy nugs
Could that be how they got them? An intercepted Zoom meeting?
whooosh
It's a Jeffrey Toobin joke...
This would be incredible. Dems lock themselves up and have to communicate through Zoom. Trump has been monitoring them through the EO. Lets them set their own trap
He did not release the Kraken, he released the Gurkin.
I so needed to laugh like I am right now.
lmao but that wasn't a kraken more like a little worm!
WHAT IS THIS REFERENCING PEDES IM AT WORK TAKING A SHIT I HAVENT GOT MUCH TIME
cnn zoom masturbator.
Wait what
the cnn guy jeffrey tobin who was on a cnn zoom call with others thought he was off camera and released his kraken.
Holy shit video?!
Post it notes...or just tape paper over the cam.
Release the Kraken?.. more like release the shrimp (50-60)

Adams has what’s known as “Fuck You Money”
Toobin be tuggin
More like a guppy for Toobins
Fukkintooooobin
Zoom zoom zoom
Bad Jeffrey...
In Toobin's case; the mini kraken
vienna kraken
*snort
Nice example of guerrilla messaging.
A practitioner of persuasion planting hybrid meme seeds.
Pro tip: The camera is never off, just as a gun is never unloaded.
Bahahahahahahqhqh!
Poor Two-Inch Toobin, lol
I hear Zoom is going to rename it Toom
Why a Toobin joke, a month later, with no context?
Somewhat odd.
How about if you're on a Zoom call (don't use Zoom anyway, unless you want Xi in on the call) you don't release the Kraken at all. Maybe leave the call and go into the bathroom first.
Man is he auditioning for the riddler part in batman? Kek
LET'S GO!
I think he is using the Kraken as a metaphor.
(Cries in Jeffrey Toobin)
Wait, that’s not tears!

Lol. I usually yell "Release the Kraken" just before I rip a big one. This allows my family just enough time to clear the room! Ye has been warned.
Don't release the toob
I like the Toobin reference. I see what ya did there :)
Has somebody been Toobin'?
Vienna sausage in lubin toobin's case.
Releasing the kracken, on a Zoom call
The kraken or the krappen?
So now they're making fun of the Kraken comment? Is this walking it back? What the fuck!
