The day where Canadians experienced a nation-wide internet outage, causing people to flock to the nearest malls and Starbucks to use its Wi-Fi. Public apparatuses such as ATMs and PoS systems were rendered unusable, forcing thousands of businesses across Canada to close shop for the day.
Also goes to show that Canada's internet monopoly needs to fucking die (and lower their damn prices).

Guy 1: Hey remember July 8, 2022?
Guy 2: Wasn't that the day where Rogers themselves couldn't even access the internet to announce the outage?
Guy 1: Ye lol

A metaphorical and rather elusive phrase which is used to describe having obsessive thoughts over another person or group (usually followed by 'in my head').
The elusive part, imo, comes from the phrase's seeming implication that someone wants to live inside your head, as in they wanted you to think about them, when it's often the opposite case (i.e. you obsess about them and they don't know/it wasn't their plan).
So when I say "Jake is living rent-free in Sally's mind", it doesn't imply that Jake has successfully enamoured Sally with his charm. What it really means is that Jake is unaware that he is the object of obsession in Sally's mind. But since Jake is unaware, his pov becomes nullified and therefore defaults to Sally's pov ("Sally is obsessed with Jake"). This phrase ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ be used to imply that Jake had successfully infatuated Sally, however most people tend to use it for its inverse meaning. It can also be used for someone beyond just your crush, such as someone who hates you.
Just shining some light on the hidden logic behind this phrase, which some people might find confusing (e.g. me).

Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.
User 1: This joke ain't even funny
User 2: r/wooosh
User 1: Stop memetic appropriating, you didn't even spell the sub right

As with all recent years, 2021 was not a great year, far from it actually. But honestly it was not as bad as I thought it would be.
โก๏ธ 2021 saw the release of several great video games including Little Nightmares II, Deltarune Chapter 2, Subnautica: Below Zero, It Takes Two, and Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.
โก๏ธ Disney & Pixar finally seemed to make a great comeback in 2021 with Encanto and Luca.
โก๏ธ Among us references basically dominated 2021. Annoying, yet low-key addicting.
โก๏ธ Covid restrictions began to loosen in some parts of the world.
โก๏ธ 2021 saw the controversial birth of NFTs.
โก๏ธ Zuckerberg's rebranding of FB into Meta and his dumb metaverse.
โก๏ธ More covid variants appeared (delta and omicron).
โก๏ธ As mentioned in another definition, social media is still more or less the same with cringey memes and tiktoks tailored to gen Z taste. Unfortunately not something that will go away soon. We will just have to ignore and move on.
โก๏ธ And, well, the world... just continued being the world, with covid, violence, protests and natural disasters still happening like it has always been.
So overall, 2021 was a mixture of some bad stuff and also some good stuff, personal circumstances included. But to me, the good and bad cancels out just enough to remember 2021 in a sliver of positive light. Just ever so slightly.

a stupid meme that, along with the other list of 'ur mom gay'-inspired comebacks, originated and died in 2018.
Besides, most people in 2022 would probably find this cringe cus everything is taken more seriously nowadays
