I recall memes similar to this from ten years ago. That's a throwback.

Could definitely chuck Global Pandemic on the list too.

If you're American you'd probably also include the war(s) in the Middle East, nationwide racial justice protests, multiple impeachments, the arrest & indictment of a former president, the failed coup on Jan 6th, and a lot more.

It's been a busy 2-3 decades...
