Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

people say the date is dependent on the person but 2015 is basically before trump and qanon and such. So I don't think OP is saying 2015 is the best year just that after 2015 was just craziness.
If we reset to 1960, we could avoid the whole end of the climate apocalypse thing.
I mean we wouldn't, but we could.
Everything we do still counts. The faster we reduce carbon emissions, the less catastrophic the climate will get for our civilization.
And the emissions are still increasing.
Focusing on reducing carbon emissions and pulling it out of the atmosphere would create so much new potential in economic growth...it's mind boggling to me, that we still debate over useless and minute changes, when the easiest and the most low hanging fruits are just being ignored.

Hell yea
Going back to 1960 would help us prevent Republicans from adopting the southern strategy and basically creating all modern problems
Maybe make Kissinger have a miss step in some stairs too.
Just don't elect, Nixon future saved
yeah thats the problem. There would be time but it would be the same folks trying to do something and the same folks fighting it and the same either ignoring or being ignorant of it.
It would probably take a lot of iterations of tweaks for the overlords to fix that one.
My longtime girlfriend left me the first week of 2016. It led to a lot of personal growth that would've never happened otherwise but I cannot downplay just how shocking it was for our mutual friend group. Memories of back then seem unrecognizable now.
David Bowie died the second week of 2016 and things kept going downhill from there.
I was entrenched in media in 2015 and it was an unbelievably entertaining year. Of course I like politics so Trump's presidential run was pretty fucking funny.
My big thing was making fun of brexit with a british friend and trump got elected briefly afterwards. In both cases I don't think either of us thought it would really happen before it did.
Genuinely its been so shocking. Who would have thought hundreds of millions of people's discontent could be used to vote for brexit and trump and bring the entire world down a path towards extremism. I thought things were pretty okay in 2015, and all of those people thought the world needed a shocking shake up of the way things are done.
yeah honestly things had been generally improving after the housing crash. It was a nice, slow, steady, improvement that went into mr toads wild ride.
