LGPL is a Chad license. MIT is for virgins.

The other way around.
MIT is for the "I have better things to do with my life than caring about what you do with my code" chad, (L)GPL is for the apprehensive virgin.

The "do what you want with the software I wrote freely, even if you gain money with it and give nothing in return" approach sounds pretty virgin to me

It's possible to make something and not expect anything in return. I couldn't care less if my quick JS library makes money to anyone. And more power to you if you can make a living by building a whole company based upon my left-pad code.
Charity and generosity is chad-like.

There is "free as in free beer", "free as in free speech", and then there is "free as in GPLv3". Because, you see, being prohibited from doing quite a number of things with a piece of software is the ultimate freedom™ (not actually freedom, just a 7-letter combination that looks like the word "freedom" but has its own specific meaning, further information available upon request).

no, the Chad way would be to not specify a license at all ... what's next? talking with str() about its feelings?
