Hindsight Fantasy

The depressing act of fantasizing about what you would have done differently if you knew what you know now.
"I would've stopped her from going out for a jog that day if I knew she'd get hit by a jumbo jet, she'd still be alive and so would the passengers on flight 123 and I would become a total hero and not have to keep working this stupid job"
"That's a nice hindsight fantasy, but keep on scrubbin' - those dishes ain't gonna clean themselves."

Hindsight is 20/20

A nonsensical way to express the idea that it's easy to see what the right course of action was, when the dust has settled.

20/20 vision is 50th percentile, average. It's mediocre. It means you can see at 20 feet what the average, middle-of-the-line person can see at 20 feet. Hindsight (perfect deduction) is the opposite of that. It's flawless. Properly expressed, to make any sense and actually convey the intended meaning, it would be "Hindsight is 20/0".

Stop saying this nonsense bullshit.

Hindsight Comeback

That absolutely perfect, witty, devastatingly clever, or just plain savage thing you should have said during an argument, confrontation, or awkward conversation, but only thought of hours (or days) later when you're replaying the scene in your head for the tenth time (usually in the shower or trying to sleep).
Dude 1: "Man, I was arguing with my boss today, and he totally shut me down."
Dude 2: "Yeah?"
Dude 1: "Yeah, but like, 2 hours later on the drive home, I thought of the perfect response that would have made him look like a total idiot. Classic hindsight comeback."

Hindsight is Blinding

2020 is hindsight

The year 2020 is overwith. What people living through the COVID-19 pandemic cannot wait to be able to say starting on January 1, 2021.
Jackie: Boy, that was a rough year. I am so glad we are in to 2021 and that whole COVID-19 mess is behind us. Donny was getting wound up about how COVIDgilent I was being.

Jill: Yup, 2020 is hindsight. On the upside, you guys did deliver a beautiful COVID boomer in December.
