So far. Was 2018 but this year somehow managed to top that. And 2018 was a horrid year.

It's been fucking terrible but let's not get carried away lol

Other contenders:
1347: Black Death killed 50% - 60% of the population of Europe
1453: FALL OF CONSTANINOPLE wOrSt yEaR oF mY LiFe @lefty @nuri (joking)
1520: Smallpox brought to the Americas by the Europeans and wiped out entire Native populations
1770: from an Indigenous Australian perspective, Captain Cook landing in Australia was the start of a genocide that wiped out most of their cultures. Tasmanian Aborigines are literally extinct due to European massacres.
1918 - 1920: Spanish Flu killed somewhere between 17 million and 50 million worldwide

That's not to sound flippant or minimise corona though... 1 million people have died worldwide in the space of seven months :/ Definitely the worst year of the 21st century. As ever, link, but add "corona" in there too now lol

yes. Not of all history, but in my adult life.. A lot of bad things happen, other than the pendemic

Actually they aren't according to this apparently said ethnicity have been erroneously presumed to be extinct.

I'll clarify here lol; this is the worst year that I have been alive for. And it's the worst for me personally.

@Blind woah didn't know that - thanks for the first good news I've had in a week lol

Coronavirus happened. It ruins everything. Plus, my birthday was in March, and I was planning on where to go, but then we had to cancel. But that wasn't too bad. We got Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, and we ordered pizza for diner

^ I feel you on the birthday thing lol. Mine is in April.

ThePrincesTales pretty much summed up my thoughts. 2020 has brought a lot of shit but there has been worse years for the World.

@PrincesS You are not wrong there. Each one of these is horrible enough and there are even more contestants to be mentioned across History that make 2020 appear like a walk in the park !!!!

The dinosaurs might also have a word to say about dat asteroid lol

(Background: the worldwide climate disruption from that event caused a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs)

^ !!!!
