    Let’s see:
    entrance is the heaven meme, showing celebs who died that year. To the left Letterman is handing the keys to his show over to Colbert. Above that there’s some babies with guns that has something to do with Gawker? David Cameron is doing his thing with a pig and above him the supreme court did something good for the gays alongside Narcos and some other TV shows. Close to that Reddit is hitting a panic button, which I don’t know what is about but maybe that celebrity nude leak?

    In the middle there’s water because: Aquarium broke, interstellar, water on mars and I think refugees.

    middle right, I vaguely recall something about a dentist anesthetizing a lion to death in front of a live internet audience? Mostly this looks like a compilation of memes and movies from 2014, jarringly presented alongside some of the things that would actually go in a history book about the time.

    a few off the top of my head from being alive and a fully-fledged adult in 2015:

    • Mad Max (2015)
    • Je Suis Charlie is Charlie Hebdo which was big in the news then because they did some anti-islamic shit and got shot over it
    • left shark and deflate gate in the bottom right (superbowl stuff)
    • Greece was going through some economic shit (my ex went to an ivy and she and some of her classmates made a lot of jokes about “we could just buy it” bc their endowment was larger than its gdp and bc they’re ghouls in training)
    • BLM blew up pretty big following the extrajudicial murder of michael brown in 2014
    • last hunger games movie came out (that’s katniss on the t-rex)
    • jurassic park reboots started in 2015
    • memerican aparral is referencing “the dress” that tore the internet apart bc people couldn’t decide what colors it was (wiki)
    • netflix paid a ton of money for Friends (see the laptop in the bottom right) and that was a huge deal
    • free snow next to the guy in the celts jersey and sox hat is reference to boston’s snowmageddon 2k15

      I love that dress because almost every time somebody reposts it with a caption like “can you believe we used to argue about what color this was? Times have changed lol” people start arguing over the color

      And the “RIP Grantland” makes me think this is Bill Simmons related, maybe even published by Grantland itself (American sports/pop culture website started by Simmons when he worked for ESPN).

      Edit: I’ve just seen the credit at the bottom of the poster. Guess it’s not related, just made by a fan I guess.
