    Gotta say…I didn’t have McDonalds slavery on my 2024 bingo card.

    Then again, these past 8 years have been basically the bingo card says “fuck it, free space, anything goes” for every space.

    We had a sub called the titanic, who was searching for the titanic, which sank like the titanic.

    We had a national state champions basketball team get invited to the white house for a celebatory dinner, only to be served several hour cold mcdonalds.

    We had a billionaire attempt to rescue some trapped miners, only for him to change his mind and call everyone pedophiles. All because it was decided that the billionaires plans weren’t the best.

    Planking existed.

    People bought images as NFTs, despite nobody seemingly knowing what that even means.

    Roe V Wade was overturned

    Covfefe.

    A microsoft representitive smashed a plane of glass over a reporters head over critisms that they broke windows with Windows 11 controversial features.

    Russia is now on day 900+ of it’s 3 day special military operation.

    The president in an official debate proclaimed we’ve defeated medicare.

    A former president in a different debate claimed Ohio immigrants are eating peoples pets.

    Some douche bought twitter, disregarded all brand name value, changed the name to X, told advertisers that boycotting X to go fuck themselves, and then tried starting a conspiracy theory that the worlds elite (as if he’s not the highest among the elite) were running child trafficing rings out of pizza parlors across the united states, and then months later questioned why X had no advertisers. He also changed the blue check mark so it no longer verified anything, and cost money. Then he charged people with a blue check mark to hide the blue check mark after it became a laughing stock.

    I only made one of these up. See if you can spot it.

      I know which one it is but I won’t spoil it. I know because I was like “wait what, that would definitely have been on the news and everyone at work would have been talking about it.” I work with that company quite a bit.

          Yep. My first thought wasn’t “No way” it was “I need to look that up”. It was only your disclaimer at the end that made me realize. :)
