It's a cult

By Anonymous - 25/01/2021 08:01 - United Kingdom - Leeds

Today, I found out via Facebook that my once-favourite aunt has fully bought into the QAnon bullshit about the "stolen" US election, bible quotes and all. We live in the UK. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I finally got to see my favorite aunt after months of her living far away with her new boyfriend. She now believes the Earth is flat, gravity is fake, the government is run by reptiles, and that vaccines are the devil themselves. She won't stop trying to convince me of her conspiracies. FML

All true, obviously

Today, I found out that my mother-in-law thinks that Trump is the "best man to walk the earth since Jesus," and that he's "fighting the deep state who's in control of the fake news." She tried to indoctrinate me. FML

Get better friends

By Q strikes again - 03/07/2022 00:00

Today, I introduced my two crazy friends who are both into QAnon to each other. It went so poorly that now they fight online over who has better facts, and they both complain to me about the other. FML

Believe in the Q

Today, I found out my 36 year-old wife has been cyberstalking an 18 year old-girl for a week. Why? Because the girl doesn’t believe in QAnon. I found out when my wife’s online business started getting backlash. FML

Today, my aunt told me that I'm dead to her now and not to visit them ever again. Why? She found out that I'm pro-choice. FML

Today, I discovered that my Dad's family very much supports Donald Trump. They tried to convince me to support his campaign by donating money. We're not even American. FML

Scientists in disguise

By Anonymous - 06/04/2022 14:00

Today, I lost a second friend to QAnon conspiracy theories. Worst yet, he started messaging everyone I know on Facebook, telling them I'm a hypocrite who doesn’t “do his research.” Those who don’t now think he was my gay lover believe we were lab partners. What do I do with that? FML

Today, I don’t know what’s worse, a hacker posting that I have cancer to my Facebook page, or that over 12 hours later not one of my family or friends rang or messaged to ask if it was true or not, except a distant auntie who liked the post 12 seconds after it was posted. FML

Whining at life

By 847 - 05/10/2022 15:30 - United States

Today, to get my wife off my back, I introduced our two single friends who are both into QAnon. Not only did they not click, but now they both call us regularly to embellish the insane difference between their beliefs and "what that moron believes." Same words from both of them. FML

Today, I listened to my niece explain to me, in great detail, that the Titanic never sank, and that the year it supposedly did was a prediction of 9/11. She learned all of this from some whackjob conspiracy theory videos, and acts like she's an expert now as a result. FML

The same reason so many Americans are obsessed with the British royal family. We have consanguinity with them! Plus, they give us gems like "The IT Crowd."

Your being British begs the question, what do the results of a US election have to do with y'all? I don't mean that in a rude way. I mean that in a way to express my understanding of it being an FML moment. I'd love an opportunity to chat with you, just to find out what British news sources have shared with the people...you know, get an outside perspective..

The US election is one of the most important events in the world. The US president influences governments across the globe. As a religious Jew, I wasn't particularly enamoured with Trump, but Biden will be an absolute disaster. He's already talking about getting into bed with the Iranians. Iran is 3-6 months away from having a nuclear weapon and despite what Obama would have you believe. they've been working on or for years, according to the IAEA. So, nuclear war in the Middle East with Iran, Syria & Turkey against Israel, UAE, Bahrain & Saudi Arabia. Great! Let's not forget that Biden doesn't even know what day it is. He has early stage dementia and will be removed from office within 6 months.

I totally agree with that. My thought was that our collective stupidity is relatively inconsequential to the rest of the world. At least it is for every day life..

I'm having to slowly cut off my family. My mom is chinese american and grew up being called the N word and getting kicked out of public spaces in the 60's-70's. Her rational for buying into this crap is, "your generation is too sensitive, learn to deal with it." ....that's absolutely not what we want our son's growing up hearing...
