Well i discovered "LOL" and some others shortcuts (like LMAO) while i sing in some live rooms on Paltalk messenger. The straight translation into french is "je ris très fort" (i laugh very loudly), so your "riant ouvert bruyant" is very close to the original but too much litteral : but we more often use an other expression "je suis mort de rire" (I'm dead because i laugh" and our shortcut is "MDR" (Mort De Rire). But this is nearly allways used by very young people in the SMS language on portable phones. For "rolling around" we say "je me roule par terre" and for "wetting my pants" we say "j'en pisse dans ma culotte". Of course, laughing is allways in the background.
