[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago

2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 65 points 10 months ago

I liked lock down. It made me feel normal and accepted for being a shut-in for once. Now, I'm just a loser again.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago

I enjoyed the empty roads going to and from work.

Jan 6th

Vaccines!

Party all summer. Oh wait, variants.

I personally got my PhD and moved states to start at my new job. So it was a busy year for me.

[-] off_apparition@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Yes, it literally was a continuation of 2020. That's how years work

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 35 points 10 months ago

If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.

I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.

Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I'm told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I'll never forget it.

That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.

Well, that's like every year for me. My memory sucks.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

You had long COVID before it was trendy

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 26 points 10 months ago

I really have this. It's like I've lost a whole year of my life.

[-] weirdwallace75@kbin.social 25 points 10 months ago

I remember it, but I cheated by getting cancer that year.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Oof, glad you're still here. How are you doing now?

[-] weirdwallace75@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

I've been in complete remission for over a year. All it took was reprogramming my immune system to kill cancer.

Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.

  • Didn't have to commute.
  • Saved money on home cooking.
  • Meetings started on time and you didn't have to walk to and from them.
  • If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
  • Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
  • All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
  • Didn't have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.
[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I lost my job, got paid redundancy, and got double unemployment payments. It was dope.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

"it's called a motor race, ok? We went car racing."

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

No Michael. This is so not right!

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Y'all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like "wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we'll come get it in a week if youre still alive then."

I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like "Whelp, we're fucked."

I'm using a mood app, and apparently 2021 was one of my best years ever. Isolation, taking hikes, cycling a lot and less social obligations.

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

I personally loved the lockdowns

Wasn't 2021 the year in which Meta announced the Metaverse?

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I remember catching Covid 3 times. Hooray for being "essential" in a place full of assholes.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

Only reason I remember anything about ‘21 is cause I went to rehab, and the Jan 6th insurrection happened

Outside of that, I couldn’t tell you a single notable event

Best year of my life, got over my ex of 20 years leaving me, GME happened, met my now fiancé, got paid for not doing any work for a few months then quit my job.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

It's the year the love of my life destroyed me. I'll never forget 2021. I still love her. I lost my soulmate.

Honestly? I couldn't remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Was in a deep depression hole and was very isolated. I'm very glad I managed to overcome that.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My grandma and Betty White died

[-] Slurpey@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

ABBA. That's the single most important thing of 2021. Their new album. Remember

My main memories of 2021 are Sealab exploding.

The iMac finally got its colors back.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago
