Explanation: it’s mostly due to how js does type conversion. for the Ls, it’s
[] is an empty array ![] is treated as false combining a boolean with the empty array returns “false” as a string (so true + [] = “true”, false + [] = “false”) ! + [] is treated as true ! + [] + ! + [] is treated as 2 since true + true = 1 + 1 = 2 so you have “false”[2], which is l for the o it’s [] is an empty array [] + {} returns “[object Object]” as a string ({} + [] returns 0) ![] is false !![] is true +!![] casts it to an integer so that part is “[object Object]”[1], which returns “o”
The explanation is about as understandable as the JS code, however thanks OP, TIL
The line breaks haven’t worked, here’s it formatted correctly:

Iirc this is called “JSFuck”, and it has a number of compilers
The idea behind it is not that complicated to explain… They set up a construct that spits out the word “false” and one that spits out “[object Object]”. Taking the character with the Index of 2 from “false” gives us the “l” (the “2” to use as the index is of course also created using only brackets and parentheses). The character with the index of 1 from “[object Object]” is “o”. So we have everything we need to spell out “lol”.
