What is the FAFO graph?

FAFO stands for “fuck around and find out”. The FAFO chart is the meme version of that warning: Fuck Around on the x-axis, Find Out on the y-axis, and a curve that stays flat for a while, then goes straight up. Fool around a little and nothing happens. Keep going and the consequences grow exponentially.

This is the interactive version. Drag the blue arrow to stretch the Fuck Around axis and watch Find Out climb from a raised eyebrow to the evening news. Every 10 minutes the graph switches to one of 50 themed sets, from the office to the zombie apocalypse. Or pick one yourself below.

The Office FAFO chart

  1. Microwaving fish in the office kitchen → HR sent a building-wide email
  2. Taking the last coffee without making more → The pot now has your name on it
  3. Eating a labeled yogurt from the fridge → There is a Slack channel about you
  4. Booking a meeting for Friday at 4:55pm → Nobody accepted. Everybody remembers.
  5. Screen-sharing with 40 tabs open → Everyone saw the job search
  6. Calling the CEO “bro” at the all-hands → You are “bro” in every meeting now
  7. Taking credit for the intern’s idea → The intern is your boss now
  8. Replying-all to complain about reply-all → The email server went down
  9. Quitting via the office printer, 500 copies → Security walked you out. Slowly.
