Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Was this posted in 2020...? Because by that time I already felt the world was going onto a steep downward spiral. Already before 2019 we had people saying "this has to be the worst year", only for the next year to out-do it, and in 2019 it got so bad memes started circulating the Web that joked about 2020 being 2019 2: The Sequel Reboot.

Then COVID-19 happened...

And we sort of just stopped counting how many consecutive "worst year ever" we had... People became numb as it became the norm...

So... No... No 2020 was not a more hopeful and innocent time.

The joke is that is was posted long before.

As to "worst year"? I quit counting "warmest winter" several years ago. And that's anecdotal, just my experience in NW Florida. Yet no one around here notices.
