They’re swearing to god that what they are saying is true. It’s phrased a bit awkwardly, I think they’ve mixed up “I swear to god” and “hand on heart” or maybe “on my mother’s life”, something like that.

"on god" is just zoomer slang.

It can also be abbreviated to "ong" which is not the same as "omg".

Ah! I’m pretty old, definitely not up to date on the latest slang.

1000 roaches or a human in my attic is not what fucked me up, it was that damn second comment and I scrolled furiously thinking surely it's not just me. Thanks for the explanation.
