The consensus among people who are living on Earth in 2016 is that, in general, things didn’t go well. That’s not to say that 2017 will be any better. In fact, it’s possible that 2016 is so bad that it will actually last 24 months. Yep, kind of a temporal dick move.
Users on Twitter have been having a little fun burying their 2016 feelings beneath a thin layer of meme.
How did we look at the beginning of 2016 versus now?

Though, in the interest of balance, we should note that some Twitter users were prepared for 2016.
