You could have told me the Wonka experience happened three years ago and I would been like "right."

2024 is almost over, and people are realizing just how LONG this year has been.

So, let's look at a list of things that happened in this very, very long year that definitely feel like they happened long, long ago...

That feels like it happened at least three years ago.

I still can't believe this person's phone survived.

Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact!

When I called it in, Zoe at @NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found. No door yet😅 pic.twitter.com/CObMikpuFd
