Ever since the end of last year, social media was hyping up 2020 to be the best year yest for a lot of us. Right from the start, we saw the rise of military tension world wide and the rise of WW3 memes. This happens the around the same time videos of Australia is shown being on fire for the last couple of weeks. The Calendar meme originates from mid March, right when scare for the pandemic was rising throughout the media. People start joking that the year is already canceled and how it's the end of the world basically. This calendar is a result of those memes about the end of the world. Obviously exaggerated but still genuinely funny. The Outfit meme is from the first day of June in the wake of protests across the country. One can see the transition from the first meme into the second.
