The acronym 'FML' (Fuck My Life) became a cornerstone of internet culture in the late 2000s, largely driven by the popularity of the website fmylife.com, where users submitted brief anecdotes of their daily misfortunes. The meme captures those universal moments of peak frustration, embarrassment, or bad luck that feel uniquely personal yet hilariously relatable to others. Usually accompanied by imagery of someone facepalming or looking defeated, the #FML meme serves as a digital catharsis, allowing people to bond over shared inconveniences and the inherent absurdity of life's little disasters.
