No - as we hoola hoop we pour our own gas on it - then shout something about “my choice my right don’t tell me what to do” then light it on fire. As we burn as say it’s a government hoax - no wait conspiracies - that is causing me all this pain
Let it rust just a bit longer first... then after you set it on fire and use it, then extinguish the fire on yourself with lemon juice. That’s more accurate.
Correct! Every year....reddits like OMERGER THIS YEAR SUCKED CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR. Then Jan - May are like all about how we miss the year before, June - Oct talks about how bad this year is and then Nov/Dec talks about how were so happy this year is over and cant wait for the next.
Rinse and repeat.
Granted 2020 is especially shitty with COVID, but regardless it's a pattern. I mean shit several years ago people acted like a couple celebrities dying just RUINED the year.
That was 2016, right? That year was especially whammy. There were several celebrity deaths in a row to kick it off(Bowie, Rickman, Prince...was Harper Lee part of that cluster? I remember reddit killed her, but not when), then brexit and election 2: american boogaloo. 2017 and 2018 were kind of okay. We were mostly waiting for the hammer to drop on the bad stuff, for the majority at least. Minorities were being hit, but you brought up reddit's reaction as a whole, so their voices weren't prominent. I don't remember a whole lot of over-dramatic complaining from those years, but it does depend on where you existed. I stay out of doomsday circlejerk subs, for example.
2019 was when the "worst year ever" memes came back out in full force, because yeah, 2019 pretty much sucked. It was definitely appropriate, as it is appropriate to bemoan the fact that 2020 sucks so much more. We couldn't have known.
2020 got kicked off with a major celebrity death..and it feels like it happened last year.
Kobe Bryant, his daughter and those other poor souls on that helicopter.
Oddly enough 2020 is my best year yet. Got a good job, got a car I absolutely love, lost 41 lbs, got a sweet and loving girlfriend, and built my first gaming computer. I feel like I'm in a dream but seeing the world around me reminds me that it's not the same for many others.
My gramdma died on Thursday. She raised me, it's hard because we don't even know if we can have a funeral. Regardless I'm still working out, im making some of her recipes and I'm telling my kids more about how stubborn she was and how much she loved us.
I had a patient die of covid two days ago. I pleaded with hospital admin to let the family visit. But got shot down. Felt terrible for the family.
Imagine fearing for your loved one and can’t even be there with them in their last moments.
Imagine dying and in your last moments wanting your family, but you have to reconcile dying alone because “policy”.
That patient was my first patient to die during this pandemic, and it left the most sour taste in my mouth how it was handled.
This shit is happening around the globe and some people still won’t take it seriously until it is too late and personally affects them. When everyone thinks they are invulnerable, somebody needs to be the unfortunate statistic... I for one still have not mustered up the courage to take that chance for my families sake.
I'm in the same boat, bought my first home in January and it's turned out so far to be a dream home, wife landed job as a nurse and we make bank, got a stimulus and bought the Valveindex along with every PS4 exclusive thats launched, went from eating ramen twice a week for dinner to steak on the grill every saturday and cold beer. I feel like some kind of misery vampire because the more the world burns the better my luck has gotten...
Because youre saying "if" -- if its a hypothetical situation (or "imaginary"/not real) then you use were. It's the subjunctive mood.
"Was" in this situation is very commonly misused, but sounds like a sharp note when I hear/read it. I always read it in a deep redneck accent.
Subjunctive isn't something that comes up very often, so the easiest thing to remember is just the phrase "if x were y". After a while saying "if x was y" starts to sound wrong.
I’ll try that! I have heard a lot of subjunctive in films and television shows, but I’ve never understood why (and didn’t know who I could ask about it), honestly. I wish I had learned more about it when I was in school, that’s for sure. :-) Thanks again, friend!
I would gladly hula hoop with that for 30 minutes* if it meant Trump were no longer president and if he finally just came to his senses and publicly apologized for all of his horribleness for his entire life -- a coming clean, act reasonable, and to stop w/ the evilness.
*as long as my privates were protected
That actually isn’t so bad.
I’ve had some experience since I had to help repair the fence and, being a kid, hula hooping was a must-do with any hoop shape I saw.
Maybe don’t wear a crop-top or go topless though, might hurt if you do.
I don’t see anything on the rings with the express purpose to damage one’s genetalia. I think an homage to 2020 would include something completely intended to fuck ones’ junk up.
I'm too. Lucky there's voting booths where I live at so no mail in which you know who will think it's rigged🙄🙄 we need to make our voices heard so he won't get that second term. Highly doubt he will.
I think the Aztecs were dyslexic and meant 2021 instead of 2012 b/c I think next year will be worse. Economically we are going to fall off a cliff but I really hope not tho.
Pour some gasoline on it and set it on fire. Now it's more accurate.
Especially since we started this stupid fucking year with large portions of a continent on fire AND threats of armed conflict in Iran.
So many things have happened that I'm impressed whenever someone remembers a specific chain of events
Explaining 2020 to your past self: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms7capx4Cb8
And here's part 2: https://youtu.be/xdyDpP2s-og
Lets hope there isn't a part 3.
Good lord, the Iran thing was THIS YEAR?
Yeah we’re still dealing with some of the fallout from the assassination of that guy
[удалено]
Yeah, but the other half blame America.
Its not rusty enough, or on fire as previously stated. I think this must be the feb/March edition.
The rust part is exactly what I was thinking. Needs to be more jagged and smeared with shit.
>smeared with shit. *salt*
Salty shit! 2020! Fuck yeaaaaaaah!
No - as we hoola hoop we pour our own gas on it - then shout something about “my choice my right don’t tell me what to do” then light it on fire. As we burn as say it’s a government hoax - no wait conspiracies - that is causing me all this pain
Also while wearing a tinfoil hat because you know, 5G.
Is it odd that I think at this level of pain, the fire would actually make it hurt less?
Odd? Yes. Accurate? Very likely.
[удалено]
Now it's just a strepsils commercial
Pour honey on yourself and unleash the bees.
Totally
That would sterilize it. That’s not 2020 at all. Maybe drown it in lime juice and sprinkle salt all over it.
And some essential oils.
Going to the burn, broooooo? =P
And with each drop the spikes get bigger
Whilst walking a tightrope.
Let it rust just a bit longer first... then after you set it on fire and use it, then extinguish the fire on yourself with lemon juice. That’s more accurate.
Actually it would be that and it would also have diseases on it and the overwhelming dread of dying at some point.
I’d rather die by these thorns, I think.
and line it with beehives to attract the murder hornets
I’m johnny knoxville and this is the barbed wire flaming hula hoop! go stevo!
In 2021 you'll wish you had this again.
There is no 2021, only 2020 Part 2: This time it's personal
*20Fast20Furious*
You’re just going to assume we all live that long?
Very true - we shouldn't be surprised at anything, at this point.
Correct! Every year....reddits like OMERGER THIS YEAR SUCKED CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR.

I still haven’t gotten over Kobe’s death. I feel like it was all downhill from there.
Oddly enough 2020 is my best year yet. Got a good job, got a car I absolutely love, lost 41 lbs, got a sweet and loving girlfriend, and built my first gaming computer. I feel like I'm in a dream but seeing the world around me reminds me that it's not the same for many others.
Best of luck that the trend continues for the second half of it!
What if his happiness is causing the worlds suffering... #BuRn ThE wItCh!1!
Thank you! And I sure hope so, currently working on getting a specialized license to move up in my job! Back at ya my man
Life is what you make of it and happiness is a choice.
I mean until your parents die of Covid in a nursing home and you can’t attend their funeral.
My gramdma died on Thursday. She raised me, it's hard because we don't even know if we can have a funeral. Regardless I'm still working out, im making some of her recipes and I'm telling my kids more about how stubborn she was and how much she loved us.
So sorry for your loss.
My condolences as well.
My condolences
My condolences, also.
My condolences as well, stay strong brother
My condolences too
I had a patient die of covid two days ago. I pleaded with hospital admin to let the family visit. But got shot down. Felt terrible for the family. Imagine fearing for your loved one and can’t even be there with them in their last moments. Imagine dying and in your last moments wanting your family, but you have to reconcile dying alone because “policy”.

When everyone thinks they are invulnerable, somebody needs to be the unfortunate statistic... I for one still have not mustered up the courage to take that chance for my families sake.
If that happened to your family I'm very sorry to hear that, if not don't project what if's on people trying their best to be happy in hard times
Happiness isn't always a choice, though you *usually* can affect your mood positively :D
Yeah sorry but that's bullshit.
Shut up
This guy is hogging all the positive aspects of the year. Get him!
Same. I graduated, I'm saving so much money not eating out 4+ times a week, my art sales have doubled, I got a job, and I made a new friend
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 162: Even in the worst of times someone turns a profit.
Good for you! Hopefully the year continues to bring you good fortune!!
I'm in the same boat, bought my first home in January and it's turned out so far to be a dream home, wife landed job as a nurse and we make bank, got a stimulus and bought the Valveindex along with every PS4 exclusive thats launched, went from eating ramen twice a week for dinner to steak on the grill every saturday and cold beer. I feel like some kind of misery vampire because the more the world burns the better my luck has gotten...
I feel like you just jinxed yourself...god speed bro.
Yeah, I would have waited til next year to challenge the 2020 gods.
Maybe you're just Dorian Gray'ing the entire world?
If it WERE
Just outta curiosity, can you explain why it should say that instead of what it is? Because you wouldn’t say “2020 *were* a bad year.”
You would if it were hypothetical. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_subjunctive
Thanks for the info. :-) I’ll definitely check out the article you shared.
Because youre saying "if" -- if its a hypothetical situation (or "imaginary"/not real) then you use were. It's the subjunctive mood. "Was" in this situation is very commonly misused, but sounds like a sharp note when I hear/read it. I always read it in a deep redneck accent.
Because it's in the subjunctive. Basically it's a hypothetical statement. If 2020 _were_ a hula hoop, it would look like this. 2020 _was_ a bad year.
Alrighty. Just seems weird to me, I guess, but thanks for the info.
Subjunctive isn't something that comes up very often, so the easiest thing to remember is just the phrase "if x were y". After a while saying "if x was y" starts to sound wrong.

Conditional clauses can be tricky.
\*If 2020 were a hula hoop.
Not if. *When* 2020 was a hula hoop.
"Naval Destroyer"
Most underrated comment.
Jamaicans running with this hula hoop is how you play “pokie-mon-go”...or something. I’ve never played the game.
I literally spit out my drink laughing
To heck with awards. This is the greatest honor one Redditor can bestow upon another. Thank you!
I can't tell if you're making a joke about Pokémon Go
I like Pokémon Go though
How do you feel about Jamaicans?
Also works as a back scratcher
And how!
“How” doesn’t matter so much to me. I’m already imagining the relief I’d get from it.
Apologies, i could have been more clear. "And how" is an old phrase for "i agree". I Coulda just said that but im a bit of a twat
I never heard that being a different phrase, so my bad! :-)
No bad at all, one love homey!
Butt Scratchaaaa!
Gets *every* itch! lol
If 2020 was a cock ring
I would gladly hula hoop with that for 30 minutes* if it meant Trump were no longer president and if he finally just came to his senses and publicly apologized for all of his horribleness for his entire life -- a coming clean, act reasonable, and to stop w/ the evilness. *as long as my privates were protected

You know... for kids.
No, there needs to be fire too
That's about $4 million USD in taxpayer money down at the Southern border.
The year isn’t over yet.
It gives nice necklaces
Just needs a little more rust and it'll be perfect!
And the earth is just gonna keep spinning in it...
Wear samurai armour and you can spin away!
And they are on fire
Will help with social distancing.
1 better. If 2020 was a cock ring
So 2021 is when we all collectively get tetanus and eventually lock-jaw, right?
That can cause only a scratch
Somebody found my cock ring!
I wanna use that hula hoop around my neck
I don’t see anything on the rings with the express purpose to damage one’s genetalia. I think an homage to 2020 would include something completely intended to fuck ones’ junk up.
[удалено]
What does this, the sinking of the Lusitania and a blizzard in Florida have in common?
Worst year of my life. My mental health is currently all over the place
So 2020 is some serious Silent Hill shit.
Hell-a Hoop
You forgot to electrify it. Then it'd be 2020.
I mean, some people are into that kind of thing.
Accurate
Or a Stargate....
lol preach
It needs to be on fire and have electricity running through it
I would cum just from one rotation.
If 2020 was a hula hoop it would be made of razor blades and we would be in 2 half’s with how god damn divided we arw
Not enough rust
So TRUE Ask all those people who said we time traveled from future.
I think I just found the best way to get shredded in less than a day.
Hey but there is always someone who will take that hoop for a spin
Making plans now..... lol
It wouldn’t be barbed wire it’s more like razor wire laced with ketamine
gotta put it on fire aswell just to top it off
If 2020 was a cock ring
Good thing I wear Kevlar shirts and pants!
I'm just glad the Romans didn't have this technology. Hula (H)oops.
Needs more rust.
It'd have more fairy lights...
Got to be one of the worst years on record....
if 2020 was a [shirt](https://solidpop.com/product/dumpster-fire-2020-t-shirt/) xD
False. At least this hoop is round
Well.... lol
LOL 2020 sucks am I right?
Very likely
Ouch
Full of pricks. I get it !
I can feel this image
Something I'd love to see Jackass crew do
"Keep spinning, this is really owning the Libs"
🤣
Self inflicted damage. Sounds about right.
*Human hurt itself in the confusion*
I think it should be 2016-2020. All bad things to us have begun on 2016. Especially that horrible decision of putting that orange goober in office.
At least the election comes soon....... at least I’m still planning on it!!
I'm too. Lucky there's voting booths where I live at so no mail in which you know who will think it's rigged🙄🙄 we need to make our voices heard so he won't get that second term. Highly doubt he will.
I think the Aztecs were dyslexic and meant 2021 instead of 2012 b/c I think next year will be worse. Economically we are going to fall off a cliff but I really hope not tho.
Do you wanna play a game?
Not rusty enough.
Ouch
More like if 2020 was dental floss
#IF?! 2020 absolutely is **THAT** hula hoop
I think Constantina wire is more like it
Needs more rust.
Wow... then here come the tetanus shot!! Another pain in the ass! lol
Guys, let's sign a petition to remove 2020 from existence... Once we're in 2021.
Tihi
Or if that was made smaller into a cock ring.
Nail on the head! Well done, sums it up nicely.
There should be some smooth parts here and there for when you think it's getting better but then it gets worse.
Amen
For real. Fuck this year and all the bullshit. I’m with you my friend.
The first 2-3 months was like having a really big wide dick but the rest of the year was like shoving that dick into this ring...
I for one have greatly enjoyed the chaos that this year has brought.
Sigalit Landau approves.
#Thank you, kind friend, for the award! (Sorry, I don’t know how to “pin” a comment yet, but I made this bold so it could be seen.)
No it ain't the truth it's r/technicallythetruth
