As 2024 comes to a close and we gear up for 2025, we find ourselves looking back at the past year with mixed feelings like we do every year and drawing up a new resolve to approach certain things differently next year.
While most people on the internet were reminiscing about the best and worst parts of 2024, the year 2019 started trending on X, as it was the year just before the pandemic hit that changed our lives forever.
It all started when a user posted a photo of a puffed pouch labeled 'Air 2019', stating how valuable the air in 2019 was compared to that of 2020. The post went viral, and several users started reacting.
Funniest reactions to the post
X users reacted to the post with many hilarious memes, stories, and jokes. Here are a few that stood out.
1 - Effects of 2019 air
This user hilariously shows what it would have been like to inhale the pre covid 2019 air.
2 - Toilet humor
This user seems to have taken the joke about storing the 2019 air to another level.
3 - Is the 2019 air really safe?
What if the 2019 air had the virus still brewing in its formative stages? The user here poses an interesting question.
4 - The 2020 kit
Going outside in 2020 felt like what we can see in this photo, as covering one's nose and mouth had become the new normal.
5 - Bad plastic
Blame the ziplock bag says this X user.
6 - The air from 2016 was the best!
People widely consider 2016 the last year for normality, as things started getting strange afterward.
7 - eBay sells it all
You will always find a buyer for everything on eBay, and the air from 2019 should be no different.
8 - Great deal!
This user here would have been willing to pay more for the 2019 air than just $20. Maybe they had plans to resell it for a much higher price!
While 2020 was undoubtedly a difficult year for the world, we have come a long way since then if we can joke about it. Well done humanity!
