I remember seeing this post a while ago and I had to find it again because laughter's actually pretty cool. It's what's called a play vocalisation - playing is complicated, so it's very useful to have some way to indicate to others that you're being playful. It's not unique to humans - other apes and rats and probably more mammals tbh do this too.

But is also has another use in humans, which is social bonding. Laughing - specifically laughing together - is very good for human bonding. I'd say more but I've already forgotten the rest lol (learned all this in a podcast, Why Do We Do That? Series 2 Episode 5)

If I get stuff wrong, please correct me politely - I don't know very much yet, but I love hearing cool facts! Thank you -Gentle

Humans are weird - Laughter

Basically just: what if aliens aren't used to laughter (ft- no names bc idk what ocs this would apply to)

___

Alien: -and that is how I found out that the hair on some humans heads is actually something called a wig and that I hadn't accidentally somehow shocked them into losing all their head hair

Human:*bursts out laughing* Oh my god

Alien: HUMAN ARE YOU ALRIGHT? ARE YOU CHOKING?

Human : *laughing even harder at the misunderstanding* YEAH NO *WHEEZING*DON'T WORRY

Alien: SAYING YEAH NO IS NOT VERY REASSURING...

Alien: OH MY LORDS YOUR FACE IS TURNING RED! HUMAN???

*meanwhile the human is slowly making their way towards the ground wheezing because their legs are giving out*

Alien: I HAVEN'T RESEARCHED HOW TO PERFORM THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER YET THIS IS THE WOOORST TIME FOR THIS

Human: *through wheezing* I swear I'm alright

Alien:I'LL GO GET A DOCTOR HOLD ON *already heading through the door* DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW HOW TO DO THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER???-

*a few minutes later*

Alien:... so you're telling me that humans just sometimes get so amused that their lungs spasm and they struggle to breath???

Human: *still kinda giggling* yes

Alien:... Well I guess that is good to know. I'll try to avoid being too amusing in the future.

Human: nooo, laughing is a positive thing

Alien: -STRUGGLING TO BREATH IS POSITIVE???
