Congratulations! You've survived 2020! Does the idea of this godforsaken year's end bring you little
Congratulations! You've survived 2020! Does the idea of this godforsaken year's end bring you little comfort because you know the horrors it wrought will outlast December? Yeah...us too.
Emotionally speaking, 2020 lasted approximately 12 months and 487 years.
Quarantine time distortion is a real thing. That's why we're willing to bet you will not believe many of the events we've compiled on this list actually took place in the year of our lord 2020. Time is a human construct that's lost all meaning forever, whether due to isolation or just the unending onslaught of world-ending news.
In all likelihood, you'll experience the memory of events from earlier in the year like they're from a bygone era, a time when humanity was more innocent and naive and less, you know, on the brink of total societal collapse and whatnot. Or maybe you were just bombarded by so many unfathomable news stories — or, let's be honest, too busy spiraling to pay attention — that you missed some or deleted others from memory to make room for...everything else that happened.

As strange and unbelievable as some of these seem, they all did indeed occur in our current timeline. So get ready to dive headfirst into the wormhole, friends! Let's defy the laws of physics and logic together as we walk down a memory lane located in the bowels of hell :)
Your body might want to physically reject the fact that some of the following took place in the span of just 12 months. But as your soul fights to leave your body, just try not to think of what's to come in 2021...

A year or so ago, we actually cared that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were moving out of a British castle and into a McMansion somewhere else. Who even were we?

As Americans trying to deal with our own dumpster fire of a country, it can be hard to keep track of the clusterfucks happening across the pond. But as recently as a year ago the UK thought it was a good idea to officially break up with the European Union. Then the pandemic hit. We're #allinthistogether though right, Boris?

Remember the collective joy we all felt when, against all odds, Parasitetook its rightful place as crowned King of Hollywood? Joy might sound like an alien concept to us now. But it was possible once. (For those who've forgotten: joi, noun, the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying, according to Dictionary.com).
Also, try to wrap your brain around the idea of all these celebrities sitting in an enclosed theater together while COVID-19 was already spreading across America. Protect Bong Joon-ho at all costs!

Honestly, file the entire Democratic primary under Things From Another Dimension. Bloomberg's campaign might go down in history as a mere blip on the radar, but at least the Moves Like Bloomberg video will be forever.

Love is Blindwas social distance dating before it was cool, The Circlerevealed how sanity deteriorates when social media is your connection to the outside world, and Too Hot to Handleunderstood the pain of needing to abstain from sex for the greater good. I don't know where Netflix keeps its crystal ball, but can they let us know if we make it to the season finale of 2020?

But she did apologize after. And to be fair, she was far from the only one who struggled to wrap her mind around the pandemic in those early days.
Australia was engulfed in unprecedented bushfires from September 2019 through March 2020. They caused untold damage and losses, though thankfully some rescued animals were released back into the wild. Then over the summer it was California's turn, with the largest wildfire season in the state's recorded history (according to official reports).
On the bright side, Australia was also a model for combatting the coronavirus, and now has one of the lowest infection rates in the world. On the less bright side, California continues to be one of the epicenters of the virus in America.

After President Donald Trump ordered a U.S. drone strike on Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in January, we all decided to laugh through the pain of the potential for nuclear annihilation. We were sweet summer children, who did not know of the actual global threat that was to come.
We all knew it was coming. But the impeachment trial is nothing but a distant, faint memory now.

Catsactually released in December 2019, but that doesn't mean unmasked masses weren't packed together into theaters watching it and other cinematic classics like Robert Downey Jr.'s Dolittleat the beginning of the year. Whatever your film of choice was, I hope you can live with the knowledge that it was probably the last movie you watched in theaters in 2020 — at least without being a public health risk, that is.

Seriously, what did people think coronavirus did to your ass back in March to warrant this particular panic buying?

And still no one saw it. But hey, now that it's streaming and not a public health risk, people seem to love it!
I couldn't tell you who competed over the football during The Big Game this year. But J-Lo and Shakira put on a halftime show performance for the ages. Unfortunately, this sporting event also birthed Baby Nut, and the Earth has been cursed ever since.

I know we all want to forget the Horny for Cuomo Movement, but it's a dark chapter of 2020 we must reckon and live with so we do not repeat our historic mistakes again. Does Gov. Cumo have pierced nipples? I do not know and may Satan erase all traces of that question from my mind.

Ye might've not made the deadlines to appear on most ballots, but don't worry. He'll be trying again in 2024. And after Trump, we should probably take that seriously instead of just laughing. God help us.

It's been a year full of dystopian nightmares. But a man forcing the dead-eyed hologram of his wife's late father to say that she married, "the most, most, most, most, most genius man in the whole world," might take the cake.

Grief can warp time as much as lockdown. That's the case for many still mourning the loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, blues icon Little Richard, civil rights revolutionaries John Lewis and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, iconic Black Pantheractor Chadwick Boseman, and beloved Jeopardyhost Alex Trebek.
Unable to puff puff pass, 420 was a sad state of affairs this year as stoners everywhere grappled with unknown risk factors of smoking during the pandemic. I mean, we didn't even notice that the whole month of April was technically 420. But now that the pandemic has messed with all our sense of reality, time, and memory even when sober, we can stop blaming it all on pot.

There were countless other, far more dangerous conspiracy theories that dominated 2020 (you know, like the alleged mass-orchestrated "plandemic” tied to 5G). But this is the one your brain might've deleted from its hard drive out of sheer self-preservation.

Imagine being so insecure you use your executive power to ban an app teens use to dunk on you, but then are so incompetent you can't even bother getting it done. In a year of historic Ls for Trump, this one's pretty up there.

Whoever was behind the major Twitter hack from back in July seemed mostly interested in absconding with as much Bitcoin as possible. But more recently, a cybersecurity researcher claimed to have hacked into President Donald Trump's account by simply trying out "maga2020!" and getting in. Both Twitter and the White House denied all claims he was hacked. But then after, Dutch prosecutors found further evidence that he was indeed hacked. And honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if he changed his password after to "st0pthesteal2020!" instead.

We all remember when Nicest Guy in Hollywood Tom Hanks came down with the virus early on.

Whatever world Netflix thought its super-hyped Steve Carell show was for, it was certainly not the one it entered into after the pandemic hit. If you missed it, though, they renewed it for a second season no one asked for while canceling a lot of other stuff people actually liked.

If you ever hear someone reduce the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 to "rioting" and "looting," remind them that less than a month prior to those mostly peaceful demonstrations, anti-lockdown protesters armed with automatic weapons stormed Michigan’s state capitol. And unlike the Black Lives Matter protesters, none of these armed gunmen were shot at, tear-gassed, imprisoned, or killed.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, people pointed to the media "fear-mongering" around Ebola spreading In the U. S. as a reason why we shouldn't take this new virus seriously. Like a monkey's paw wish, a new Ebola outbreak was detected in the Congo in July — though it is thankfully now over (for now). Please, just no one give H1N1 any ideas in 2021.

News of the Operation Varsity Blues college-admission scandal broke last year, but it was a gift that kept on giving in 2020. As Lori Loughlin served out her two-month prison sentence, her influencer daughter Olivia Jade broke her silence in an interview drowning in privilege, which was especially cringe in a year where we're finally trying to reckon with the racism of our criminal justice system.

Her #TrySomethingNew ad campaign, in essence, put the blame for the 11.5 unemployment rate (at the time) on folks who just weren't being creative enough rather than, you know, her own father's total incompetence in addressing the pandemic. Now that she'll be out of a job along with daddy in January, though, we suggest she too simply #TrySomethingNew

Elon Musk pulled more shit in 2020 than anyone can be bothered to remember. So let's run through a recap of some of Musk's greatest 2020 hits: naming his and Grimes' daughter after a plane or something, getting red pilled, predicting COVID-19 panic was overblown and cases would be down to zero by April, raging against stay-at-home orders to put his employees' health at risk, vowing to sell all his possessions, continuing to cast unfounded doubt on COVID testing, getting COVID despite calling it bogus, being mad at people for having pronouns in their bios, and blew up his rocket launch.
Hope things get better for you next year, bud! (Don't worry, he's actually even richer now than before the pandemic, so he'll be just fine despite fucking over so many people).

There were so many moments in Rudy Giuliani's unbelievable streak of 2020 debasements: announcing Trump's coup at a landscaping company's parking lot next to a dildo store, melting at a different press conference, farting through testimonials for said coup. But, in case you forgot, he also got Borated.

OK, to be fair, the Pentagon didn't actually call it a UFO, opting instead for the verbiage of "unidentified aerial phenomena." And UFO doesn't mean aliens. And the footage wasn't new, having leaked years prior. Butthe fact that the U.S. Government officially recognized a UFO is pretty! fucking! huge! news! It happened on the same day our president advised citizens drink bleach to cure coronavirus, though, so we don't blame you if you don't remember it.

Oh, also, some Israeli former security chief said there's a confederation of aliens waiting for us to get cool enough to join the club, and that Trump knows about them. 🤷
Let's be real, though: 2020 made all our brains smooth, proved that nothing is real, and we all live in a simulation anyway. 2021 here we come baby!
