The sex co noi dungBig Lebowski's V.I. Lenin once said, "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen." In 2022, decades just kept happening. The pandemic, elections, wars, it's all just warped our sense of time. So much so that it's tough to keep track of what happened in any given year.

That's why we thought we'd do you the service of collecting some of the best, weirdest, and most memorable internet moments that you likely forgot happened this year. Because who knows, that event that feels like it happened decades ago is just a few months old. Months.

2. The school folder debate

Sometimes, the internet stumbles upon a weird thing to get angry about. Actually, come to think of it, that's most of what the internet does.
