no but for real . Gangnam style call me maybe riptide we are young . lana releases her first album and changed pop forever . Frank ocean releases his first album . 1D premieres . grimes releases genesis . and the movies. don’t even get me started. the first avengers movie the last twilight movie hunger games the hobbit les mis. like them or hate them they were cultural phenomenons. minecraft was at its peak before it was deemed cringe and before the minecraft renaissance. 2012 was one of the last good years of youtube too . and everyone was rlly into moustaches for whatever reason
Party Rock Anthem, Payphone, Glad You Came, Don’t You Worry Child, and Limbo all dropped in 2012 and we’re talking about Grimes??
And that’s not even talking about the charts… Somebody That I Used to Know, Call Me Maybe, Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), We Found Love, Starships, and that’s just in the top ten
On top of all of this there was that whole thing about the world ending in 2012…the frantic energy of it all
i’d like to point out that when i made this post, all of these comments were at the top, but now if you look at the thread they’ve been replaced by completely different comments
so please, for the love of god, look at the source link this thread is a neverending source of entertainment. people have added so much fucking shit since i made this
I was proctoring an exam for a student today while reading these, and I had to stop because I got to this one and almost fucking died
these are making my day
Okay, this one’s killing me:
These ones got me:
Ooohhh noo I can’t breathe and there are literal tears streaming down my face
We all like to joke about how nobody who was at Hogwarts with Harry Potter would be able to learn anything because of all the monsters and dark wizards and shit attacking from all sides, but like, when you think about it… your average Hogwarts student never actually sees that.
I mean, until the battle at the end of Book 7, the climactic points of Harry’s adventures have tended to happen either in areas of the school where students aren’t supposed to have access or outside of Hogwarts altogether. And in general the only students directly involved were Harry and his little clique.
So like, for the average Hogwarts student, it’s more like… you still get a basically normal school experience (albeit with the odd spate of petrifications or megalomaniac Defence teacher to worry about), but also there are these three kids in your class who are just super weird.
Like, one of them is kind of famous, and you’d assume he’d be popular because of that, but he pretty much exclusively hangs out with the class braniac and that one kid with all the brothers, and doesn’t really have any other friends. The three of them are practically joined at the hip, and spend most of their time sitting together having whispered conversations that stop the moment anyone else passes by, and then resume only after they’ve walked out of earshot. You’re pretty sure you overheard the word “death-eater” once or twice.
Then during the end of term assembly, when the headmaster is covering all the last notices like who won the Quidditch Cup, and how the frog choir got on at regionals, he suddenly stands up and says “and let’s have a big round of applause for Harry, Ron and Hermione, from the First Year, who last week defeated the reanimated soul of wizard-Hitler after he possessed a staff member!”
And you’re all just sort of clapping along like whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck and then they win the House Cup and you all go home, and literally nobody ever mentions this incident, or the apparent return of wizard-Hitler, or the fact that he can possess people now, ever again.
