The family WhatsApp broadcast is a weapon of mass distraction. It arrives without warning. A 5-minute video about "the end times." A PDF about herbal cures. A voice note from an unknown prophet. The sender is your aunt, your uncle, or that cousin who discovered the internet last week. You cannot block them. You cannot mute them—well, you can, but you'll miss actual important news. You must endure. The broadcasts are never requested. They are always urgent. "Forward to 10 people or die in 7 days." The emotional blackmail is biblical. And the accuracy! The information is always wrong. The cancer cure was debunked in 2014. The missing child was found in 2019. The political quote was never said. But the sender believes. They are doing God's work, one misinformation at a time. What's the most absurd family broadcast you've received? And do you correct them or just say "Amen"?
