The interminable disappointment and disaster we humans have brought upon ourselves throughout history is certainly nothing new, but 2020 has been like a giant mirror reflecting our failure as a species back at us. As the global pandemic just keeps truckin' on into the new year, people are dealing with the darkness in different ways. We at Memebase look to those who use humor as a coping mechanism, because what else can we do but just laugh sometimes? One redditor had the same idea and asked Reddit what a hypothetical 2020-themed cocktail would look like if they ordered one in a bar. The answers are hilariously befitting and communicate how people feel about this cursed year with perfect simplicity. Take a look at some of the best answers from the thread.

While this thread may seem like "first world problems" to some of you, we found it to be pretty entertaining. Earlier today, Redditor u/sulemannkhan asked the r/AskReddit community to share the absolute worst birthday gifts they'd ever received. The people of Reddit complied, sharing tragic tales of callous re-gifting, second-hand hairbrushes, and for one lucky eighteen-year-old? A used Disney coloring book. If you've ever received a "dud" gift and had to bite your tongue and feign happiness, this gallery is for you.
If you disregard the physics of time actually 'stopping' and what that would mean, essentially the real question becomes: If you had 48 hours to do anything you wanted, what would you do? According to the answers in this r/AskReddit thread, people generally fall into two categories—those who would do crime and those who would prank as many people as possible. A handful of the busier redditors would love to just do nothing for once. We've collected some of the most amusing answers from this popular thread. It's hard to read through these without considering all the different possibilities, which makes for a pretty fun daydream session.
The process of scattering a loved ones ashes is generally pretty sacred and emotional. Today, we've learned that's not always the case. A desperate (and desperately amused) individual took to Facebook to beg for advice on how to dispose of her father's ashes after her mother informed her that his remains had completely solidified into a brick of human ash. After OP's mother had to take a CHISEL to said brick, they decided to avoid their unusual plight by asking the internet for advice. The commenters delivered something, but a whole lot more comedy than wisdom. And we're honestly more than okay with that.
