Need a laugh?

While I always tell people I don't have a Facebook account, actually I do. (Oops! Secret's out!) My mother is very active on it, and before I had an account she would print out and snailmail me funny/interesting things. I figured if she did that much for me, I could at least make an account to make it easier for her. (Sorry, no, not sharing the account name. It's only purpose is for her and a few other family members who live near her.)

I had thought that jokes about Facebook were exaggeration, but they're really not. My aunt sends me chain letters on a regular basis. Those "Share these with nine people or SOMETHING BAD will happen!" types of things. I sat there staring at the first one she sent -- I couldn't believe those even existed anymore!

While hitting the reddit random button (shows you random subreddits) to find something new to read, I came across /r/TheFacebookDelusion/. Holy cow is this stuff funny in a scary sort of way!

For example:

I wonder how large the explosion of their heads would be if they knew that some of the founding fathers were atheists... o.O Jesus must have been so disappointed. ;)

iirc, a lot of them were Deists, which isn't quite the same as atheist. :p

Sorry if I'm using the wrong terms. :) I was only thinking of two of them anyway.

I'd enjoy seeing them learn that! :D
