2020 tested the limits of absurdity with the American government's reaction to Covid, Brexit, another failed coup attempt in South America, and any number of stupid, weird, and incredibly funny things that happened in an otherwise interesting year.

2021 can only get better.

Some highlights from last year's thread:

Willie Tomg posted:

Steve Wozniak admitted either he or his wife were patient zero for COVID-19 in the USA, and in so doing unlocked the Tie Tuesday sticker.

dads friend steve posted:

google was surprised to learn during the president’s press conference that his plan for containing the coronavirus pandemic is to have them create a website to direct people to local Walmart parking lots

Willie Tomg posted:

The doomsday clock scientists have cancelled the next doomsday clock event due to COVID-19 concerns.

Nix Panicus posted:

An unprecedented 3.3 million Americans filed for unemployment last week. In response, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1350 points (6.4%) to officially enter a bull market.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:

LONDON, April 24 (Reuters) - Doctors and health experts urged people not to drink or inject disinfectant on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested scientists should investigate inserting the cleaning agent into the body as a way to cure COVID-19.

Willie Tomg posted:

The "forums coup" april fools joke about seizing SA from Lowtax actually happened for real three months later with the principal difference being that the forums were not given to LadyAmbien.

Willie Tomg posted:

Flight Simulator 2020 has a surprisingly detailed model of Groverhaus.

Willie Tomg posted:

The United States Postal Service arrested Steve Bannon at sea.




And so many more.

As always, please keep your posting to plain, factual, and uninflected sentences written in the year 2021.
