Just wondering ? You mean curious about it by a narrow margin ? Let folks tweet and bleat.OMG is a chemical formula. Some people find that funny for which you should be thankful. Can't you xD it" ? What does that mean ?

'haseeb' is wrong. 'I can't" does not mean that. It's real meaning is when something is supposed to be so funny/ strange/ weird that the speaker cannot help laughing. 'I can't' was once derived from 'I can't breathe' (because of laughing).
For example: If you saw someone wearing really bad trousers, you might say, 'I cant!' to your friend, meaning "I can't believe it, I can't cope, I'm going to laugh. I just can't look."
Or another example would be: If your friend just told you a joke and you were crying from laughter. 'I can't' would take the meaning of 'I can't breathe.'
It's mostly used by the younger members of the online community.
I hope this helps you!
