What are some 2020 stories that you completely forgot happened in 2020 since time felt weird this year?

[ThisThingIsUseful]

I just saw this clip on a CNN Weird Stories This Year montage, and I'm like, "Wait, I remember that. That was 2020?!?!"



Of course it was right at the beginning of the year, but still, everything from January 2020 feels like it was July 2019.

I know things like impeachment, the end of the Dem primaries, and Kobe's death are things I've heard time and again that feel like 2019 stories, but what are some other, not as big stories that you just realized happened in 2020 but seem like they happened long ago?

Twitter has been reminding me that "Large Boulder the size of a Small Boulder" was this year

 

[TaySan]

Yup, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it was 2018 or something.

I mean the Australian wildfires where still going till May of this year.

 

[geardo]

Remember when Trump bombed an Iranian general and almost started a brand new war in the middle east? That was like the first week of January.

Shit, how many news cycles ago was that...

I guess 2020 did one thing: it finally made time seem slower since none of this feels like yesterday.

 

[Atolm]

Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.

Trump was impeached. Everything pre-March feels like a lifetime ago.

 

[hordak]

remember when australia was on fire in january?

Also George Floyd was murdered in May. And then the BLM protests happened for several months.

Yeah the Australia bushfires is one for sure. I was re-watching the Nick Knack videos and hit the Zoo Family one that started with a request to donate to the wildfires and completely forgot that was the very first sign this year was going to suck.

Remember Tiger King?
Yeah, this year felt like 4 years wrapped into one.

And I think that got extra coverage because more people were home to watch it.

Pretty much anything prior to March.

Okay Boomer girl happened this year lmao

Remember when lots of people around the world started getting random deliveries of seeds from China?

Yeah, and I think it was very early so everybody was feeling like we had to stick closer to each other and for example actually follow friend's recommendations, before we eventually went back to business as usual. Still, it was everywhere and it vanished into thin air as quickly as it appeared.

So am I the only one that sees a Family Feud clip in the OP?

One of them, yeah. The story was about oddball or funny things that happened in 2020. So not COVID, impeachment, election, etc.

Guess I should have pointed out that this wasn't part of a 2020 year in review of the biggest 2020 stories. =P

The Hong Kong protests are still going I think?

Then there were those wildfire pictures of the US with the sky entirely red.

The US abruptly pulling troops out of an allied area, leaving their allies to die.

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I saw Jurassic World Live at the beginning of March and I remember questioning if it was a good idea to go (was my youngest's bday gift). We went and then not long after, the country shut down. Feels like so long ago and he barely even remembers (he's 5, now going on 6 in late Feb.)

Tiger King definitely.

A live-action film based on Sonic the Hedgehog was released and was not only not terrible but went on to be quite financially successful.

 

[ItchyTasty]

Australia burning down, the first news of the new virus emerging in China, first lockdown, BLM and all the protests. I can barely believe that the Trump vs Biden vote was this year lol.

Can't wait for 2020 to end.

 

[Rowsdower]

There was that massive explosion in Lebanon that killed over 200 people. I think it was sometime in the summer?

There was also an ebola outbreak this year.

In local Canadian news, we had a mass killing in Nova Scotia this year in April. Dude was a dentist and went to houses and shot people who answered.

don't ask how I forgot it was this year that the world got a full picture of the Tiger King, but it all seems so long ago.

Sorry, I didn't meant to imply that the tiktok originated the song! Just that that specific tiktok came out in 2020

Maybe I'm the odd one but Kobe, Tiger King, The Hornets, BLM doesn't seem that long ago.
