Let's relive every single month of the dumpster fire that was 2020 with... memes.

Every now and again something happens so... unexpected, or weird, or... f**ked up, that it is simply hard to find the words to sum it up.

It renders you speechless.

2020, in its entirety, has been one of those times.

How do we explain 2020 with words? At the very least, I cannot do so without using language that would get me in trouble. And I really need this job right now! 2020, lol.

But don't fear, because we have memes. Memes now fill the space left by a year of limited hugs, socialising and travel. Memes have been our saving grace.

Let me present a recap of 2020, told by increasingly chaotic internet content.

January.

#WWIII

Does 2020 really need to be a leap year? We've already had 2 months of it and trust us, nobody is clamoring for more.
