2016 Is Best Year

Slippy sloppy, The
Right, so 2016 has been a really weird year where tons of strange shit has been happening, right. And I figured it'd be interesting if we compiled just how much strange crap has been going on.

So let's start this off with Pepe The Frog.
tumblr_ntd9g8zmGl1uwa0t9o1_500.jpg


Pepe The Frog was originally just a character from a web comic that eventually became a collectible game of rares of memes. And what has happened in 2016? This beloved meme was "co-opted" by the alt right and now The Anti-Defamation League has added him into their database of hate symbols.



Not weird enough of a year for 2016? How about Brittain leaving the EU on a margin? Now there's been some controversy over how the EU handles shit. How it can impose certain regulations on countries that do not want them. And Brittain? They got fed up! Or well, 50% of the population got fed up. So when the time came to vote it barely won. Now, one could say that technically it was a majority vote (since it is over 50% leave) but even so, such a big decision that is so divisive ended up being pushed through and from what I've seen, most of the people in charge are like "we have no idea what the fuck to do now". It is theorized that the Leave campaigners didn't 'really' want to leave, they just wanted to send a message to the EU that shit's got to stop. And now they've left. Or, well, they'll leave whenever someone can get their ass around to actually signing the Article 50.



But we got weirder shit still. In the US the presidential election is just.... I mean... Wow! I don't know if ya'll paid attention to this but there was a human/rat hybrid running for election. Oh and Jeb Bush carrying around turtles, being asked to leave a speaking engagement after he was interupted in his speech, asking people to "please clap". Then we have Bernie Sanders which is a disney princess, did ya'll see the bird that landed on his podium? Heh, and then a fly landed on Hillary's face.

Anyway, the big two that are still remaining are Trump and Hillary. Now Trump, what is there to say about him really. He's a businessman, sure enough I'll give him that. But he's probably more known for his reality shows. I mean there are a lot of businessmen out there that we don't know anything about but Trump? He's like a cartoon character. From his weird hair to his incestual relationship with his daughter to wanting to grab women by the pussy; This reality star is actually running for president.

On the democrat side we got Hillary, a woman who's clearly unhealthy, who's got scandal after scandal under her belt and has officially done criminal acts such as accepting money from foreign investors (which presidential candidates are NOT allowed to do) and yet.... She's still in there. She's still running. Oh and if the conspiracy theories are to be believed then she's also assassinated people who was going to pull back the curtain. The majority of FBI and DOJ are not satisfied with Comey's decision to pull the plug on the Hillary investigation. Ain't that worrying.

Reality TV Star vs Widely Known Corrupt Crook
I never thought I'd see that happen in a western country.



Buuuuut not as worrying as rampant clowns in the US. Which we 'know' is happening.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightings
The people behind the new iteration of the movie "IT" has denied that this is part of a marketing campaign so this is just people choosing to go around, dressed as clowns, scaring the shit out of people.
And would you look at that, the clown craze is now spreading to other countries. Remember people, just cause they scary don't mean that beating them to a bloody pulp is legal.



There, that should be enough to start this whole thing off. Now there are many more examples of weird shit you could bring up. Anything is fine really. Let's see how 2016 is the year we transition into a cartoon world.

Now I'm not a moderator so I can't really enforce this rule on this thread so I am going to ask other moderators to moderate this thread when it comes to this: This is not a thread for discussing things in depth, it is simply a humour thread where we go over the weird shit that's been happening in 2016 that we would never have seen coming. Things that are outlandish and absurd and makes you lose faith in the mental state of humanity as a whole. Corrections is fine, elaborations is fine, but digression into serious discussion? No. I want moderators to remove such posts if that happens. You got other threads to be all serious in. Don't bring that shit in here.
 
Clowns have been spotted in the neighborhood adjacent to mine. Oh and they our school had a threat or something called in by someone claiming to be clown and we had a shitload of police at our school for a day. They had guns. Wierd experience tbh.

Also that pic of pepe up there... I'd smash.
 
There have been clowns in my hometown as well.

It's really fucking weird.
 
2016 is the year Earth decided to give up.

I swear somewhere out there is a prophecy which reads

'The stars will fall
The Union will break
She who lies will face reality
The humour dies as the clowns rise'

It's gotten past the point of stupidity, I just find it all funny.

2016 was also the year we learned democracy is a farce as in the U.K, we have an unelected prime minister now.
Also the money the leavers were saying could be spent on the NHS, just a lie.

Yeah, the EU thing over here was peddled with lies and misinformation.

Well presumably my clowns Either are a hoax or they sleep at night because for the past couple nights I've nights biked past that neighborhood with my mutt-dog to get sodas from a vending machine. Because nothing's open after midnight except vending machines and the E.R.
 
The most important event in 2016 was Fallout 1.5 Resurrection released in English version, duh!

Nope, it was 50% of participating voters, and since only ~70% of Britons voted in this referendum, it's slightly above one third of British population who've decided the fate for whole country. IIRC it was a rainy day during the referendum, so many older folks just gave up on voting and stayed at home with a cup of hot tea. ^^
 
I just thought of something else that's really fucking weird. Might not have originated from 2016 but fuck it, it's still going on.

Clapping hands? Ableist.
So snap your fingers instead!

And just... This...


We need a good ol' plague.

And wasn't there a bunch of people abroad that couldn't vote?
What an amazing year. :D
 
.. yep, tens of thousands Britons living in many European countries couldn't vote at all, they'd have to travel to UK first.

Also, snapping fingers is really weird, the second one makes sense though. These „Jazz hands” are a sign for applause in a sign language, so if you are going to applaud someone who's deaf, that's the right way:

Wouldn't a simple thumbs up do?why I gotta make myself look like a jackals?
 
 
2016 was weird as fuck, and threw me into fits of rage at humanity's stupidity over and over again.
Political correctness reaching absurd dimensions, killer clowns in the streets, killer clowns in the american presidential election, shit's cray.
However, 2016 was and and still is a brilliant year for music. So many great releases this year.

The average age of the leave voter was way higher up than the stay voter. The old people who stayed at home were in fact more likely to vote leave.

Although one would think that it's kind of silly for a Brit not to be used to the rain.

Even after living most of their lives in it, most people stay inside still, usually moaning with regularity (about every 5 minutes) about 'how nasty it is' and so on.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only pussies who cant handle it.

Hahaha, come to Canada in January when a fucking blizzard is dropping 50cm of snow with a 80kph wind and the temperature not adjusted for wind chill is fucking -40. Then tell me there is no such thing as bad weather.
