2020 has been full of surprises that no one, not a single one, has ever asked for.
First, the bushfires raging across Australia, burning 18.6M hectares and killing 1B animals. Then, the US drone hit Baghdad International Airport and took down Iranian major general. With war breathing over the shoulder, and racial tensions over police brutality reaching a boiling point, we still gotta deal with the worst pandemic in recent history that killed 693 805 people so far.
At this point, I pass the relay to this summary of the first half of 2020 made by someone who made everyone a public service and laid it all out. And if simply scrolling through it, will feel like an eternal torture, it’s because it is. ‘Cause no need to lie, it’s been rough. Like, borderline, I’m outta here, is there still a room for one at SpaceX, please?
Bored Panda reached out to Imgur user skeeli614, who shared this viral summary of the year 2020. The post has been upvoted 5,692 times on the platform, and skeeli614 said he was super glad so many people enjoyed the post. “I was actually just browsing through Facebook and came across the post and thought the people of Imgur might find it as humorous as I did.” The original author of the meme has not yet been identified.
Meanwhile, the guy said that “In the 30 years I’ve been alive, I have to say it’s my least favorite year.” He also hopes we can expect a little more “humility, civility, and unity from the world.”
This summary is part of the “But I Got the Van” meme that stems from a quote uttered by Luis in the 2015 Marvel superhero film Ant-Man. Initially, the meme is thought to have first originated 4 months ago with a multi-panel image macro comprised of screenshots of Luis reciting the dialogue.
According to Know Your Meme, this image has been used in a series of jokes about optimism in the face of intense adversity.
From what we’ve seen so far, this year has been particularly rich in the comedy department. With so many memes, jokes, and puns surfing around the internet, 2020 has been hosting a tragi(comedy) club in its own right.
In a previous interview with Bored Panda, the comedy writer Ariane Sherine has said that 2020 will stick around. “2016 was also a bad year and people still talk about it. But it [2020] will slowly fade from memory and be mentioned less and less.”
Meanwhile, social media users are joking about how we’re still not even halfway through the year and there are tons of messed up things waiting for us in the near future. From zombie plagues to alien invasions, if we’ve gotten through this mess so far, we’re gonna survive whatever comes next as well.

Someone who is really pessimistic would say that we're overdue for a comet or asteroid to hit us and cause an extinction-level event, just as an example. Pessimists always find a way to throw cold water in the face of hope. Sure, we've been lucky in a lot of ways, but when luck doesn't run our way, ingenuity and the will to survive have kept the human race from dying out, even growing in the process and usually coming back stronger than before.

Is it okay that Biden made former Ukrainian president Poroshenko fire the chief public prosecutor, because he investigated illegal activities and money laundry of his son's company Burisma Holding, threatening to refuse to give him a next one billion tranche? or America only cares for things that trouble America, not the rest of the world?? SHAME. In South Korea for instance such a person would have been ostracized forever
Biden spurts out two racist comments on Blacks - Democrats ignore him - blame Trump.
blaming the situation with COVID on trump is ridiculous when the left has been encouraging all the riots that made everything far worse. And pretending that terrorist groups are the good guys in america its just hilarious. all of this insane lunatics pretending to be the good guys

This is giving me anxiety and I’m 7 months into 2021! Must be about the delta variant of Covid
When COVID-19 was first identified in late 2019, a video of a woman eating bat soup went viral. This sparked rumors that bat soup consumption in China caused the outbreak. But according to the BBC, this isn’t true. The video wasn’t filmed in Wuhan, let alone in China. It was taken in the Republic of Palau, a country in the western Pacific Ocean. The woman in the video was Mengyun W**g, a travel show host. She shot the video to feature the local people’s food. Additionally, the clip was filmed in 2016. This was long before the first COVID-19 cases were diagnosed.

The only thing I knew about being bad in 2020 was, Kobe Bryant and daughter dying in helicopter, protests for George Floyd, and, here comes the one that even babies know about, CORONAVIRUS! the one who ruined are lives!
This just in..not a hoax..aliens spotted over maine...but it is harvest season here...
One more thing ... A squirrel was found with bubonic plague in the PNW. Two deadly plagues in one year! What are the odds???
He also forgot that COVID19 positive patients in MEXICO were quietly transferred [routed] to CA. "The swelling numbers of COVID-19 patients entering the United States from Mexico comes as many parts of California have pushed down their infection rates, enables many counties to lift stay-at-home restrictions and reopen businesses."

COVID didn't happen because somebody ate bats. Come on. we all know it was leaked by the lab in Wuhan. (/sarcasm.)

It’s DISGUSTING that Bored Panda which used to be a release from acrimony has now become political...having a Black guy talk about how everything is Trump’s fault. BP needs to give equal time to BRILLIANT BLACK CONSERVATIVES...go to 1776 Unites an organization Black conservatives founded to counteract the propaganda. GO TO OPENSECRETS.org to see that MUCH MORE dark money goes to “Democrats” (to try to steal our democracy) than to Republicans. Start your search with Hershel Walker’s findings about money for the Democratic Party coming from China...Beware of what and who you’re supporting. In the meantime, until BP gives Black conservatives a voice to counteract the lies of the ACTOR in the post, I’m out of here and I’m going to tell as many people as I can to stop coming to the site. I’ll keep checking back to see if anything has changed but if dark “Democratic” money supports BP nothing will change. If nothing changes, we’ll all have the answer.
This whole post is disgusting left wing propaganda...Bored Panda should be ashamed to spread all of these lies. Read what Herschel Walker has said and is saying about dark money from China funneled through BLM that’s then going to the Democratic Party. Become educated...and don’t get your education from the left wing social and news media owned by each other and in bed with each other. Aleksandr Sohlteneitzen (spelling?) who suffered through communism said those who don’t educate themselves are in trouble. Santayana said those who don’t study and understand history are doomed to repeat it. The cancel culture education you’re getting is repeating the intolerance of communist revolutionary “movements” (The Nazis started out as a movement too folks so don’t be fooled by that word for BLM, whose founders PROUDLY BOAST “We’re trained Marxists!!” ). People who support it and Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi (who call people who disagree with her “enemies of the state”) all are enemies of democracy.
Of course, not all Chinese. Only an ignorant fool would blame “the Chinese” for this pandemic. But yes, bats, and mosquito eggs from bats are harvested in Chinese villages, as well as rare Pangolins, which are likely the source of the virus.

I agree. Bats are thought to be the reservoir host, but the thing about reservoir hosts is, they usually have a very low viral level, not enough to transmit to humans directly. Usually a transmission to humans involves an intermediate (amplifier) host that isn't the natural reservoir host.

Is it okay that Biden made former Ukrainian president Poroshenko fire the chief public prosecutor, because he investigated illegal activities and money laundry of his son's company Burisma Holding, threatening to refuse to give him a next one billion tranche? or America only cares for things that trouble America, not the rest of the world?? SHAME. In South Korea for instance such a person would have been ostracized forever
Biden spurts out two racist comments on Blacks - Democrats ignore him - blame Trump.
blaming the situation with COVID on trump is ridiculous when the left has been encouraging all the riots that made everything far worse. And pretending that terrorist groups are the good guys in america its just hilarious. all of this insane lunatics pretending to be the good guys
More corrections: Articles of impeachment were filed. He was never impeached.
it's not over yet. Half of Beirut was flattened, thousands of homeless people and hospitals can't keep up with injuries and coronavirus cases will certainly kill those that can;t get hospitalized because of the situation
What do you think was the worst part of that year?
Load More Replies...The problem with the internet is that is can cram all of this stuff together in one spot so we can view it all at once. It's anxiety inducing to see it this way, especially for our youth who don't have much historical knowledge. We're gonna be fine. Serbia survived 32 days straight bombing by the Clinton administration. Europe survived WWII. Earth survived the Spanish flu. We survived the Irish potato famine. We got thru the Great Depression. AIDS hasn't wiped us out. The end of the world has come and gone many times. We survived Y2K. We survive massive earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunami's. We survived Ghengis Khan. Comets have narrowly missed us so many times, many times we had no idea. The hole in the ozone layer is healing. We survived SARS, MERS, Ebole, etc, etc. Halifax survived the Halifax explosion of 1917. We're gonna be fine. It just seems bad because we can read about all current events in one spot now so it seems even worse.
They forgot the forrest fire close to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that happened in April
It's always all about the States, so much has happened in a short 7 months, there's more to this world than what happens in the usa. They voted for an incomplete candidate for president and the whole world suffers.

And we’ve not even gotten to 2021 telling 2020 “hold my beer”, yet. Vaccinations, anti vaxxers, super spreader events, mask-no mask-mask, booster shots, another even more deadly strain (or two), one side of US on fire (before fire season), other side doing back stroke, Texas Icestorm, and this isn’t even including politics in general …
I don't really think it was a bat, it might have been a bat's droppings in the food though
Eaten I mean I don't think the bat was eaten
Load More Replies...The sheer fact not a single one of the ice shelves was listed here, just goes to show how little about the earth most people understand. Three of them holding back glaciers the earth can no longer replenish, two being the worst on record, and one being LITERALLY three times the size of San Frandisco. As water levels rise and the weather goes from alarming to outright berserk, humans barely notice because one of them put a knee on another of them. I just want to be a daffodil until the earth burns down.
Oh, wait, you forgot the woman in Kenya who made bricks out of recycled plastic, also the ozone hole closed!
This is giving me anxiety and I’m 7 months into 2021! Must be about the delta variant of Covid
When COVID-19 was first identified in late 2019, a video of a woman eating bat soup went viral. This sparked rumors that bat soup consumption in China caused the outbreak. But according to the BBC, this isn’t true. The video wasn’t filmed in Wuhan, let alone in China. It was taken in the Republic of Palau, a country in the western Pacific Ocean. The woman in the video was Mengyun W**g, a travel show host. She shot the video to feature the local people’s food. Additionally, the clip was filmed in 2016. This was long before the first COVID-19 cases were diagnosed.
Please update this to complete the year!!!! Absolutely awesome piece of work. :)

Holy sh*t this not even half of it if you really really do your research
Man, I guess I should go on about the Nigeria. Every country and people has had it real tough this year.
Since when did BP get so #%* political against Trump. Not one word was mentioned about the cancel culture moms taking away our freedom’s not one word was said about Democratic leaders and Democratic politicians not saying a word while our freedoms are being stolen, reputations are being ruined and people are being shunned and fired and worse. If you’re going to put this on you need to put two guys on discussing what all of the Democratic leaders and politicians are not doing and not saying about the robbing of our rights under the US Constitution by the McCarty like (mirror image cancel culture mobs). If Bored Panda is not going to be even handed about the political situation I’m going to opt out.
I just added a countervailing opinion and it’s not being posted...thanks board pandas. Like the other social mediums playingd. Have fun in your echo chamber and please don’t come out a until totalitarianism takesover...sad😢

If BP is to put this on kind of biased drivel on, two guys discussing what all of the Democratic leaders and politicians are not doing and not saying about the robbing of our rights under the US Constitution by the McCarthy like, KKK equivalent, mirror image cancel culture BLM and Antifa mobs and about the founder of BLM PROUDLY saying “We’re “trained Marxists”...that means communism is coming to town soon. BP needs to be even handed about the political situation. Once gone👋🏻👋🏻Democracy.

2020 be like: *a plane takes off with no wings or jets* l-53707-a-...6ce626.jpg
Forgot the two hurricanes at the same time going to the same area in the Gulf of Mexico
The only thing I knew about being bad in 2020 was, Kobe Bryant and daughter dying in helicopter, protests for George Floyd, and, here comes the one that even babies know about, CORONAVIRUS! the one who ruined are lives!
This just in..not a hoax..aliens spotted over maine...but it is harvest season here...
One more thing ... A squirrel was found with bubonic plague in the PNW. Two deadly plagues in one year! What are the odds???
He also forgot that COVID19 positive patients in MEXICO were quietly transferred [routed] to CA. "The swelling numbers of COVID-19 patients entering the United States from Mexico comes as many parts of California have pushed down their infection rates, enables many counties to lift stay-at-home restrictions and reopen businesses."
This year being, more than half over, let's think positive, like, ...the cup is half full, not half empty, first time ever, I am looking forward, to New Yeas' Day, good luck to all !!!
Maybe I have a different sense of humor but I didn't enjoy it at all.
What a wrap up of the year and it is only 8 months gone. What an absolute f**k up and of course that is not even considering what happened in Australia!
Dont forget Judge Esther Salas' son being killed and husband shot not long after Epsteins case was assigned to her
This was only two weeks ago, and so much more has happened since this.... Beirut Explosion. NC had a hurricane and an earthquake. Trump is attacking/defunding the postal service. And that's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I've lost track of the passing of time.
I know i know, it's Beirut. Googled town afterwards

They forgot about earthquake in Philipines, vulcano in Indonesia, riots on China and India border and black płatne in Mongolia... And we are in June...
This man asking the questions, has he been in a coma or something not to already know this?
I can't believe the Anti-Trump s**t here!! It's total BS!! You better believe if you vote him out you will see a real demise in America!!! Back to Obama economy and socialism from which we will never recover!!!
Wow. This was incredibly painful. And we're basically only halfway through...
Also missed that right after Australia burned to the ground it was washed away by floods - but hey it put the last of the fires out.
Can't forget that explosion in Lebanon that killed 70 and injured thousands that just happened recently
They didn’t mention kokichi (dagnrompa) tuning against Putin for Russia president. So Russia eather gets Putin or a Japanese gay compulsive lier.
Lovely bit of satyrical propaganda there, when you look at everything from a Progressive lense.
Propaganda? I’m not sure that you know what that word means.
Load More Replies...He never got to "Oh and Lebanon consciously stored 3000 tons of highly explosive substances, like in the middle of Beirut for 6 years.." "But they took care of that ri.." "It exploded..city in ruins.." But hey, it's only August. There'll be a sequel I s'ppose.
Even if not completely accurate, this was the funny painful kind or article.
COVID didn't happen because somebody ate bats. Come on. we all know it was leaked by the lab in Wuhan. (/sarcasm.)
Careful. You’ll get the conspiracy nuts excited. But I think the tracing leads to a wet market that sold Pangolins, rather than bats. Either way, China and other countries have a very serious responsibility to shut down these markets and educate their citizens.

They forgot the forrest fire close to the Chernobyl niclear plant in April
Well, April: Missisippi Tornado, COVID-19 Mutate, COVID-19 Measure protest, China v.s. several countries May: PIA Plane Crash June: COVID-19 centers in the U.S. were sabotaged by the protesters July: Chinese-Japan Flood, Chinese v.s. India August: Beirut port explosion...
He forgot the kid who got the plague from eating a marmot and other instances of plague. And the tropical storm. And the people stranded on cruise ships. And the schools closing.

It’s DISGUSTING that Bored Panda which used to be a release from acrimony has now become political...having a Black guy talk about how everything is Trump’s fault. BP needs to give equal time to BRILLIANT BLACK CONSERVATIVES...go to 1776 Unites an organization Black conservatives founded to counteract the propaganda. GO TO OPENSECRETS.org to see that MUCH MORE dark money goes to “Democrats” (to try to steal our democracy) than to Republicans. Start your search with Hershel Walker’s findings about money for the Democratic Party coming from China...Beware of what and who you’re supporting. In the meantime, until BP gives Black conservatives a voice to counteract the lies of the ACTOR in the post, I’m out of here and I’m going to tell as many people as I can to stop coming to the site. I’ll keep checking back to see if anything has changed but if dark “Democratic” money supports BP nothing will change. If nothing changes, we’ll all have the answer.
This whole post is disgusting left wing propaganda...Bored Panda should be ashamed to spread all of these lies. Read what Herschel Walker has said and is saying about dark money from China funneled through BLM that’s then going to the Democratic Party. Become educated...and don’t get your education from the left wing social and news media owned by each other and in bed with each other. Aleksandr Sohlteneitzen (spelling?) who suffered through communism said those who don’t educate themselves are in trouble. Santayana said those who don’t study and understand history are doomed to repeat it. The cancel culture education you’re getting is repeating the intolerance of communist revolutionary “movements” (The Nazis started out as a movement too folks so don’t be fooled by that word for BLM, whose founders PROUDLY BOAST “We’re trained Marxists!!” ). People who support it and Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi (who call people who disagree with her “enemies of the state”) all are enemies of democracy.
Of course, not all Chinese. Only an ignorant fool would blame “the Chinese” for this pandemic. But yes, bats, and mosquito eggs from bats are harvested in Chinese villages, as well as rare Pangolins, which are likely the source of the virus.

Not even including the hurricane/tropical storm Isasias that hit the us recently, or the fact that Kamala Harris is running mate for Joe Biden now
That is the most stupid and bias thing I have ever seen. No wonder people don't know which end is up. Ooh. I'm scared of stupid people.
No it doesn't, almost 6 million people were murdered/died bc of war in my country alone in WW2
Load More Replies...don't forget the Epstein scandal about to bring down some of the world elites!
I agree. Bats are thought to be the reservoir host, but the thing about reservoir hosts is, they usually have a very low viral level, not enough to transmit to humans directly. Usually a transmission to humans involves an intermediate (amplifier) host that isn't the natural reservoir host.
Load More Replies...Yeah, sorry/not sorry that facts have a “left-wing” bias. Nothing written in the meme is a lie.
Load More Replies...I’m not sure you understand the meaning of facts or truth. Sorry/not sorry that facts have a left-leaning bias. Curious, what part of this conversation is not factual?
Load More Replies...Soooo did you get your facts from Facebook or Youtube? Is this backed up by reputable journalists? What are your sources?
