As we bid farewell to 2015 and welcome a new year filled with possibilities, it’s only fitting that we take a moment to reflect on some of the internet’s best posts from the past year. From hilarious to helpful, and everything in between, let’s dive into the content that made us smile, think, and, of course, share.
1. The Dress That Divided The Internet
Who could forget the viral sensation that was “The Dress”? In February 2015, an image of a dress was posted to social media with one simple question: Is it blue and black or white and gold? The heated debate divided friends and family alike as people passionately argued their case. Turns out, the dress was actually blue and black!
2. The Heartwarming Moment A Colorblind Man Sees Color For The First Time
This touching video shared in June 2015 captures the moment when a man receives EnChroma glasses from his friends and experiences color for the very first time. Viewers couldn’t help but become emotional as his reaction exemplified pure joy and gratefulness.
3. Hello From…Adele?
Pop superstar Adele released her long-awaited third album “25” in November 2015. Her lead single “Hello” dominated airwaves – along with its video, which featured Adele using a now-obsolete flip phone. This led to a flurry of memes and parodies about her outdated tech choices; however, this only added to the song’s popularity.
4. Pizza Rat: A Symbol Of Persistence
In September 2015, an unassuming rat carrying a slice of pizza down subway stairs quickly became an internet icon for perseverance. With thousands of views on YouTube and countless memes emerging overnight, the small rodent reminded us all that even in hard times, we must never give up.
5. 50 Incredibly Useful Life Hacks To Simplify Your World
In January 2015, this compilation of clever tips and tricks listed ways to make our everyday lives a little easier. From using a keyring to keep track of your bobby pins, to making perfect pancakes every time, we secretly wish we’d discovered these hacks sooner.
6. The Poot Lovato Conspiracy Theory
The internet found humor in October 2015 when an unflattering photo of pop singer Demi Lovato birthed an outrageous conspiracy theory. The gist: that Demi has an identical twin sister named “Poot” who had been locked in a basement her whole life. Though it was entirely fictional, it became a hilarious talking point within the online community during the year.
These are just a few examples of posts that made waves in 2015. Some made us laugh, some pulled at our heartstrings, and others helped simplify our lives. As we move forward into the new year, let’s carry the lessons they taught us and continue seeking out content that makes a difference – in our lives and in the broader world.
