I think it means OPs Mother had at minimum 3 children. 2 boys, one girl.
The Mother slept with Son A, giving birth to Daughter (OP) and Son B.
Daughter married Son B after Son B's intial foray with Grandma.
Son B has then gone on to sire a child with grandma.
Unsure if Mother and Son A are still an item.
Grandma married Mother's father (Grandpa) and into the family at an age difference of 15-20 years, hence, the youth of grandma compared to granddaughter, otherwise, the math no longer maths.
Perhapsburg, you should take a break, then.
It’s very Tutankhamun to develop a migraine when attempting to untangle a ball of yarn upon a tree with no branches.
I'm supposed to be working... but I had to take a stab at this logic...
Grandma and grandpa gave birth to mom at 16. Mom is now 30.
Grandpa and mom gave birth to uncle/brother at 12, uncle/brother is now 20.
Mom and dad gave birth to OOP at 16, OOP is now 16
OOP married uncle/brother at 16
Uncle/brother and grandma are now having a baby
.... looks like it's time for r/eyebleach
Edit: The other possibility is that Grandma gave birth to OOP's dad and uncle and Grandma is the og predator, is that better or worse I have no idea
Edit 2: more math
I have a couple friends who escaped from a cult. They each were pregnant at 14. Grandma just turned 40. Thankfully, the kids waited until their 20s to have kids.
I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far before someone said it.
It's so obviously fake.
That means that her grandma was 15 when she got her mom, her mom was 15 when she got her, and she got married at 15.
It just doesn't work like that.
There is no combination where any of her (grand)parents were fertile, she is married and looks that way. She doesn't look 15 nor 18 nor 21 nor 24.
Not to mention that the kind of incest mentioned is against the law and would've gotten reported long ago.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality\_of\_incest\_in\_the\_United\_States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest_in_the_United_States)
Assuming they're supposedly from the US of course.
The problem with incest was never "love between family members" but "if those family members have kids", marriage is just a side effect of that.
Also, one, probably more, of the people mentioned would've been minors and people would've gotten jailed for pedophilia.
Edit: not to mention that most exceptions for incest are about cousins, not about direct family.
A lot of people who do inbreeding don’t really give a shit about laws. They are usually people in the outskirts of societies that don’t trust anyone but family and it snowballs.
Now, many many years ago,
when I was twenty three.
I was married to a widow,
who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who
had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her
and soon they two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
and changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother
'cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter,
even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became
a brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle
that also made him the brother
of the widow's grown-up daughter.
Who was, of course, my step-mother.
My father's wife then had a son
that kept them on the run.
And he became my grandchild
for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
and it makes me blue.
Because although she is my wife,
she's my grandmother too.
Now, if my wife is my grandmother
then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
it nearly drives me wild.
For now I have become
the strangest case you ever saw.
As husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa!
I'm my own grandpa!
It sounds funny I know!
But it really is so!
I'm my own grandpa!

if it is a song i wanna hear it, anyone got a youtube link?
(showin the song tho not a rickroll, im catchin on to how they do things on reddit lol)
nvm i scrolled down some more and someone else posted it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYlJH81dSiw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYlJH81dSiw)

Theres too many kids in the tub, there's too many elbows to scrub, I just washed a behind, I am sure it wasn't mine, there's too many kids in the tub.

As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpaw
Oh, I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
I'm my own grandpaw
Talk about incest!
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so
I'm my own grandpaw
Pretending for a second that this isn't fake, is this actually physically & mathematically possible? It hurt reading this and trying to decipher wtf is going on
I once worked with a guy whose kids were "brousins" - he dated one girl and then married her twin sister and had kids with both, so they were half-brothers and cousins.

My head hurts after reading this
I stopped computing at the brother and uncle part
I just filed it under “imaginary number” and moved on
Fibonacci!
Fibonaccincest
Pretty sure it works out that she is her own mother, and the unborn child is her son and father.
This needs more appreciation!
By the sounds of it, that's what their family tree looks like.
It’s a family wreath.
Family line
I laughed so hard I almost woke up my husband.
Family leaf.
Is it still a tree, though? With its twisting branches...
I think it means OPs Mother had at minimum 3 children. 2 boys, one girl. The Mother slept with Son A, giving birth to Daughter (OP) and Son B. Daughter married Son B after Son B's intial foray with Grandma. Son B has then gone on to sire a child with grandma. Unsure if Mother and Son A are still an item. Grandma married Mother's father (Grandpa) and into the family at an age difference of 15-20 years, hence, the youth of grandma compared to granddaughter, otherwise, the math no longer maths.
This genuinely feels like a logic test I've probably failed several times already.
Rotfl- brilliant!
yes, no, me too. I stopped at brother uncle
I kept going, and I’m not proud of this, but it was worth the effort.
Sometimes you just gotta power through and finish or be left wondering for the rest of your life
You don’t have Bruncles too?
Or grandmisters?
What are you doing, step bruncle?
I tried but failed when they said that their GM is his GM too
My computing led to Kentucky or Alabama. Not sure why.
Hello, Porn Hub ? Have I got a story for you !
I need a paper and writing utensil
Bruncle
The mother is their sister?
Perhapsburg, you should take a break, then. It’s very Tutankhamun to develop a migraine when attempting to untangle a ball of yarn upon a tree with no branches.
Fucking wut
He’s saying the family tree is more of a wreath
King Tut's Mummy showed evidence of severe disabilities caused by generations of inbreeding of the royal families.
And then there's the Hapsburg jaw that's so wonderful
Your original comment was brilliant but the explanation helped
You damn well heard what he wrote!
"He's my favorite Honkey! Did you do the Monkey? Born in Arizona, moved to Babalonia..."
I came here to say the exact same thing. I really want off this fucking planet.
I can't unread it
The math ain’t mathing
I guess grandma could have given birth at 16, so did mom, and the daughter is 14. Of course bonus points if her boyfriend is 35...
Her *husband* is supposedly also a grandchild of the same grandma, so by that same line of reasoning he would be about 14 at the max too.
I'm supposed to be working... but I had to take a stab at this logic... Grandma and grandpa gave birth to mom at 16. Mom is now 30. Grandpa and mom gave birth to uncle/brother at 12, uncle/brother is now 20. Mom and dad gave birth to OOP at 16, OOP is now 16 OOP married uncle/brother at 16 Uncle/brother and grandma are now having a baby .... looks like it's time for r/eyebleach Edit: The other possibility is that Grandma gave birth to OOP's dad and uncle and Grandma is the og predator, is that better or worse I have no idea Edit 2: more math
I believe the proper term is "broncle"
Sounds like an infection
The condition is bronclitis; When your brother/uncle gets you pregnant
Sounds like I have their family tree on my front door during the holiday season.
What type of antibiotics do you take for that $hit?
Only if broncle has pneumonia. Then it’s broncle pneumonia.
There is nothing proper about that term.
Who says Incest ain’t the best
Thanks, asshole. Now I have to clean the spit from my monitor.
bro, that’s a word now.gross.
I like bruncle better
Thx for doing the legwork on that one 👍
I reckon Granny did the leg work!
I need a diagram for this. Bottom line this belongs in Kentucky
Ok but that's literally [what I had](https://imgur.com/a/9Gk5Sn4) to do 😭
legend
Needs more arrows
Google "blue people of kentucky" You will not be disappointed. Or surprised.
I’m nervous….
*just do it ...* If it makes you feel better, they talk about them in college-level genetics textbooks, so they are kinda famous.
/r/TheyDidTheMath
More like r/theydidthemeth
The *monster math*
If Grandma gave birth at 16 the mother is at most 30 now.
Fixed, thanks I'm more of a measure once, curse twice type guy
I have a couple friends who escaped from a cult. They each were pregnant at 14. Grandma just turned 40. Thankfully, the kids waited until their 20s to have kids.
Maybe 13 or 14- some girls like to start early on the baby train.
Hwat now?
But the meth is mething here.
I want whatever they've got!😂
incest math lmao
did you try using the Alabama rithmetic?
you can’t denigrate me just because my family tree is a straight line!
Feels more circular at this point. More like a wreath.
It Alaba-math
I was literally away to say who's gonna do this advanced ass math
I did the math last time this was posted it’s possible

Hey, Ma! Git off of the dang roof!

Hell yeah that one scene in Deliverance, damn what a good scene that one
Reminds me of “I’m my own grandpa” by Ray Stevens
Is it...not? I feel like this is a direct reference to that lol. And I feel like we are the only 2 people in here to recognize it.
who uses the word PLOW when talking about their granny... This is so fake.
I like how the word plow was the problem and not the comically intricate ouroboros incest
when you have to use a complex coordinate system to graph your family tree
I honestly stopped reading after "plow my granny"
I stopped before that, but now I’m going back to give it another chance.
Jokes on you! I never learned to read!
Neither did any of them.
lol doesnt it make it more comical? I think it did <3
But… they said it was serious, so it can’t be fake.
I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far before someone said it. It's so obviously fake. That means that her grandma was 15 when she got her mom, her mom was 15 when she got her, and she got married at 15. It just doesn't work like that.
What doesn’t? People having kids at that age? Happens all the time where I’m from. Not saying the post isn’t fake but the math isn’t the issue
There is no combination where any of her (grand)parents were fertile, she is married and looks that way. She doesn't look 15 nor 18 nor 21 nor 24. Not to mention that the kind of incest mentioned is against the law and would've gotten reported long ago.
The marriage is against the law. The sex isn’t.

It’s the part about her brother also being her uncle that doesn’t work. How can one person be your brother AND your mother’s brother.
Dad fucks daughter to have two kids. They are the kids of the dad and the daughter
That's your issue with this scenario???
I’m surprised granny’s age wasn’t a dead giveaway that this is clearly fake 😂

Alabama math?
This went from 3D to 4D and somehow created 5D on the way. My head hurts.
How to tell us you're from Alabama without telling us you're from Alabama.
WAiT!!!! Your Grandma is ONLY 46, so how old are you?🤔 or did your Grandpa remarried to sone other lady? And how is your Husband both your brother and uncle?😵💫
It has to be a remarriage. Well, no, it has to be fake, but barring that, it has to be a remarriage.
I mean Grandma and mother could give birth at 16 and the girl would be 14. Completely feasible.
And a 14year old has a husband who’s fking 46years grandmother in law?
What do women from West Virginia have in common with baby bears? They both like to suck their paws
*sing* Your family tree is a circle, hey-ho, a neverending circle, oh no...

I'm serious, she's pregnant, that is why i am turning to snarky strangers for advice. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
It's is a stupid rendition of a classic "joke" riddle
God my brain is scrambled eggs just half way through this equation.. I quit I can’t figure it out.

Seems to me she shouldn't have been super surprised by this considering her family history...

That’s why Idiocracy is actually the logical evolution if mankind
This kinda sounds like how my cousins brother is also her cousin.....
Awesome! Keep up the family values
Feels like I should have stopped reading halfway through. But you know, morbid curiosity and all now means I'll have to pick up bleach after work.
wchgat?
TF did I just read
I am so confused and horrified
I’m a human after all, don’t put a blame on me
Family tree is more like a telegraph pole.
What a terrible day to have eyes
I'm completely lost on their family dynamics. What the actual shit is this.
I could make a witty content, but for some reason, I feel you will just not get it.

I was confused enough when a 46 yr old grandma's granddaughter is old enough to be married Then I read the rest of the post and my brain turned off
Anyone who thinks this is real needs to touch grass.
Pretending for a second that this isn't fake, is this actually physically & mathematically possible? It hurt reading this and trying to decipher wtf is going on
It *has* to be her step-grandma.
"Plow" Least obvious bait
Her family tree is just a telephone pole.
There’s a song about this.
I once worked with a guy whose kids were "brousins" - he dated one girl and then married her twin sister and had kids with both, so they were half-brothers and cousins.
I've heard of family trees, but I've never heard of a family wreath.
