2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I liked lock down. It made me feel normal and accepted for being a shut-in for once. Now, I'm just a loser again.

[–] ma11en 40 points 1 year ago

I enjoyed the empty roads going to and from work.

If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.

I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.

Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I'm told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I'll never forget it.

That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.

Jan 6th

Vaccines!

Party all summer. Oh wait, variants.

I personally got my PhD and moved states to start at my new job. So it was a busy year for me.

[–] off_apparition 36 points 1 year ago

Yes, it literally was a continuation of 2020. That's how years work

You had long COVID before it was trendy

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

I really have this. It's like I've lost a whole year of my life.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I remember it, but I cheated by getting cancer that year.

[–] Vorticity 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof, glad you're still here. How are you doing now?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been in complete remission for over a year. All it took was reprogramming my immune system to kill cancer.

Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.

  • Didn't have to commute.
  • Saved money on home cooking.
  • Meetings started on time and you didn't have to walk to and from them.
  • If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
  • Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
  • All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
  • Didn't have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.

I lost my job, got paid redundancy, and got double unemployment payments. It was dope.

There was that ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, and Squid Game.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

both of those things feel like they are from 2016 or 2018

[–] Agent641 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Y'all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like "wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we'll come get it in a week if youre still alive then."

I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like "Whelp, we're fucked."

I'm using a mood app, and apparently 2021 was one of my best years ever. Isolation, taking hikes, cycling a lot and less social obligations.

I remember diamond handing some stocks and missing out on some serious gains.

My entire memory of 2021 is just vtubers

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Only reason I remember anything about ‘21 is cause I went to rehab, and the Jan 6th insurrection happened

Outside of that, I couldn’t tell you a single notable event

I remember catching Covid 3 times. Hooray for being "essential" in a place full of assholes.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Wasn't 2021 the year in which Meta announced the Metaverse?

[–] thorbot 8 points 1 year ago

Honestly? I couldn't remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.

It's the year the love of my life destroyed me. I'll never forget 2021. I still love her. I lost my soulmate.

Was in a deep depression hole and was very isolated. I'm very glad I managed to overcome that.

My grandma and Betty White died

[–] Slurpey 7 points 1 year ago

ABBA. That's the single most important thing of 2021. Their new album. Remember

[–] Siegfried 6 points 1 year ago

I just remember that somewhere in the balkans some sort of police office day counter broke and started adding days to december like 45 of dec 2020... maybe it was edited but it felt funny.

[–] Resol 6 points 1 year ago

I remember one thing about 2021.

The iMac finally got its colors back.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I forget if it was 2021 or 2022, but didn’t we have a ton of headlines saying we would be entering WW3?
