Summer 2016 will never be replicated

I don’t recall the summer of 2016 being substantially different from any other summer in the last 20 years, except for, of course, that it was warmer than all the summers that came before it and cooler than all the ones afterward, and the Earth is going to be cooked to death.

I think what people really mean is that they will never be at whatever stage in their life they were at in 2016 again, but like, that’s how time works, it’s not a 2016 thing.
