My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory. (TikTok screencap)

hhhooo boy…let me tell you about how it felt to live in the world before September 11th 2001…
it was freaking amazing.
I came here to say the exact same thing. 9/11 changed the US forever in a bad way.
Those who are willing to give up liberty for a semblance of safety deserve neither and all that.
We were downloading MP3s on dial up.
Who knew bands had so many unreleased songs?
Man oh man. I went Napster crazy.
Check out this new song called Metallica.exe !
Dam u!! Y my computer not start up n e more?
idk, I was a kid and harry potter wasn’t real, so that kind of sucked for me
ah yes, 2000, when JKR wasn’t known to be a fascist supporting shitheel.
to be fair, she probably also wasn’t at that time. money ruins people
It says 2019 to trick the viewer into commenting “no 2012” or 2016, since no real human thinks everything was great until 2019. It’s bait for interactions.
This is an ad for McDonald’s
I wouldn’t say things were great up until 2019, but 2020 and beyond is when things really seemed to go to shit
Ive lived through a few of these already.
2020 is when everything changed.
2016 is when everything chagned.
2012 is when everything changed.
2008 is when everything changed.
2001 is when everything changed.
None of those are correct. There is before Harambe and after Harambe. The day he was killed everything changed.

Just a reminder that traitor lunatic Trump was president in 2019. So no. Lol
It went to shit when you dumb mother fuckers elected him for the first time in 2017. Stupid fucking idiots.
Are you fucking dumb? Do you not remember Drumpf’s first term in office?
God sent us plague as a warning to not elect him, and he ended up in the office.
In 2015?
I feel like that about 2016. I’m telling you, it all started with Harambe. It all went downhill from there XD
Same but with 2012.
Maybe the Mayan apocalypse people were right.
Fall of 2012. Obama wins again. Weed is legal in some states. Gay marriage. Nuclear powered tank lands on Mars. iPhone 5.
Its actually that between 1991 and 2001 that we merely had a full decade of relative stability in world events. Crazy shit stopped happening for a while and we have collectively imparted that things used to be “normal” on people born after 2001 but they’ve interpreted their own childhoods as the normal years.
I see this said about the 90s all the time but really this is not true. In the 90s there was (not an exhaustive list)
- First Gulf War
- Yugoslavia war
- Rwandan Genocide
- Oklahoma City Bombing
- Columbine Massacre
- Los Angeles Riots
- The Fall Of USSR (while on one hand a good thing it also cause so much economic decline, hunger, and excess mortality in the millions to many former bloc countries)
- Somalian War
- US 1990 recession
- 1997 Asian Financial crisis
- Dot com bubble
- Hurricane Andrew
- 1999 İzmit earthquake
It’s very common when asking any person what was the best period of time for the world for their response to be a period of time their formative years were.
The reality is history is full of horrid horrid things and nostalgia is a follie that’ll trick your mind.
Yeah, it’s less “stability in world events” and more so the west riding high off winning the cold war.
Yes, stuff still happened, but it was all mostly local scale in consequences or temporary blips. Conflicts, economic downturns, weather events can all be huge tragedies, but an entire super power cratered in on itself in '91 and splintered into smaller countries massively rewriting the political landscape. And in 2001, 9-11 happened and its arguably a starting point for a domino effect of terrible unhinged shit that followed that also had massive global political ramifications, arguably to this very day.
“I just got a great idea for a new novel! It’s about the end of humanity, but with a twist, because the humans don’t even know they are done for yet. They think it’s just a bit more aggressive flu, but in fact it’s highly contagious and each time you get it, it damages your brain a slight bit more. Everyone keeps getting infected and so they slowly get dumber and more aggressive until civilization collapses in wars and economic chaos.”
“That’s stupid, something like that could never happen.”
My ex wife cheated on me on December 28th, 2019.
I took a whole bunch of pills two weeks later that apparently are not lethal in any amount.
However, since then, I am all but convinced we live in hell, because never once in the past 5 and a half years has anything gotten better.
I’m sorry y’all. This might be the bad place.
I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.
Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.
All that happened to me is I was in a drunk like state for 36 hours.
I got a big promotion? I found a new group of friends? That’s about it though.
I’m sorry but it’s been hell here on Earth since at least 2015. Your own legitimately terrible events were individual symptoms of the larger pestilence. Either that or a lot of us were already in hell before you got here.
No, no you are right, dicks out man. Dicks out.
The world has always been crazy. Just more adults are becoming aware of it and able to see it all the time, every day.
Rome went out drunk on wine and conquest.
We’re going out buzzed on overpriced food delivery and crypto regret.
Cheers!
It’s not an alternate timeline.
It’s the most profitable one.
We’re really generating value for those shareholders aren’t we?
Absolutely.
And as you can see, fiction scales better than truth.
The timelines been screwed since harambe was murdered.
