But we will always remember some of the crazier things the past decade has brought us, including the ones you are about to read.

u/Yokeyoyo asked: People of Reddit, what's the craziest thing that's happened this decade?


Good sh*t.

Right!? Growing up getting told this is something you can't see but it can destroy galaxies, then to end up being the first generation of people to actually see these things? Insanity.

A true miracle.

Ozzy lived through it.

In only a couple years the focus went from being small, to thin, to big, and now to a flat bar of soap CAN YOU STOP REMOVING ALL THE F*CKING PORTS, APPLE.

TheEnKrypt

Definitely.

The explosion of Social Media.

Good answer. In Stockholm where I live pretty much all people my age had already had Facebook since around 2007-2008, and some also imported iPhones, but things really exploded around 2010 when suddenly over the course of a few months everyone got a smartphone.

So maybe smart phones had been an even better answer. Everyone having a computer in their pockets is pretty crazy when you think about it.

NowNowMyGoodMan

The sad truth.

If you had told anyone in either country that Donald Trump would be the president of the US and Boris Johnson would be the prime minister of the UK, they would have laughed at you.

The reality of it was that the "Tide Pod Challenge" was never a challenge and it was basically only very small kids who thought it was candy, and old people, who ate it.

But it didn't stop the media from blowing it out of proportion and making DAE STOOPID MILLUHNUHLZ??? xDDDD jokes.

D*cks out for Harambe.

We all got our genitals out for a deceased primate.

I just can't believe that planking happened this decade.

TV enthusiasts could argue that shows on television are a more compelling and superior form for media entertainment.

A story arc can be played out to its fullest potential without shortchanging the audience with a two-and-a-half hour duration of a film.

While movies are in their own category, TV shows–including short miniseries–can engage an audience over a span of seasons as long as there is more stories to tell.

Some TV shows break away from the formula and can feature anthology–or standalone–episodes that are impressive in their own right.
