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

[–] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Globulart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It still blows my mind that so many people thought (and in many cases still do) that the vaccine had some nefarious purpose.

I remember 2021 mainly for arguing with morons online about it.

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 34 points 1 year ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You had long COVID before it was trendy

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 25 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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 1 year ago

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

There was that ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, and Squid Game.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago

both of those things feel like they are from 2016 or 2018

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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."

No Michael. This is so not right!

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 17 points 1 year ago

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 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I personally loved the lockdowns

Diamond hands. Never left the game.

Still buying as it's on sale.

My entire memory of 2021 is just vtubers

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Slurpey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My main memories of 2021 are Sealab exploding.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I just remember that somewhere in the balkans some sort of police office day counter broke and started adding days to december like 45 of dec 2020... maybe it was edited but it felt funny.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, you guys remember 2020? That's when it all went downhill for me.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do I remember 2020? Let me tell you. On my birthday that year, I discovered my wife cheated on me. Yeah, I remember 2020 quite well.

Worst year of my life.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I remember one thing about 2021.

The iMac finally got its colors back.

[–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

God those years are all a blur. It feels like I've had a chunk of my life stolen from me
