Today, I told my long-distance friend about the flooding in Florida due to the Supermoon. He's a Flat Earther and despite proof, denies the coincidence because he believes the moon and gravity aren't what we're taught. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed really nice. However, halfway through the date, he started talking about how he was a flat-earther, and believed that the moon landing was faked. Oh, and that birds aren't real. I had to endure another hour of his conspiracy theories before I could finally escape. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that a tornado is not the same thing as a hurricane. I couldn't convince him, and he still won't talk to me. FML
Today, I found out my girlfriend of 3 years actually believes that the Earth is flat. FML
Today, I told a friend I had become more religious lately. He immediately started mocking me for being a "stupid creationist bigot." When I told him how offensive that was, he acted bewildered and started condescendingly lecturing me about how "science has proven God does not exist." FML
Today, I found out that one of my colleagues believes that aliens built the pyramids. No amount of logical reasoning or evidence has had any effect on his argument of, "but you can't prove they didn't." FML
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
Today, I was telling my girlfriend about how my parents are flying out to Japan today on vacation. She was shocked at how short the flight will be, because "It's on the other side of the world." We live in the USA, and it seems I'm dating a Flat Earther. FML
Today, my mom saw a picture of the moon and asked me what "those big spots" were. She actually thought the craters were continents and tried correcting me when I told her what they were. Then I almost got into trouble for being disrespectful. FML
Today, two of my friends condemned me for being "narrow-minded", because I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that someone would believe mermaids actually exist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What an idiot, if he was smart he would know the world is a cube.

It literally boggles my mind how folks can be this thick-headed. All the evidence, all the science--do they need to be strapped into a rocket and shot into space themselves?

A full moon does not affect its gravitational pull. The mass of the moon stays the same regardless of how much it is illuminated. It's or it is slightly elliptical, so it's position relative to the earth changes, which does influence the gravitational pull a small amount, but this can occur at any phase of the moon.

A supermoon refers to more than just phase.

A supermoon is a bit of a misnomer. Yes the moon is at its closest relative position to earth but it's not gonna look like it's gonna crash into us and it's not gonna change the gravitaional pull of the moon that much either.

Willfully ignorant people who think the Earth is flat like a sheet of paper.

And here I was hoping the flat-earth conspiracy theories were just an ongoing internet meme, and that no one is actually that dumb.

I live in Florida and heard nothing about flooding due to supermoons or otherwise... we had a cold front that had barely any rain associated with it... other than that, dry conditions...
