The frenzy of the media surroundingthe birth ofArchie Mountbatten-Winsor, the first child ofMeghan murder andPrince Harry, was not unexpected, but we are happy enough to be over. Who felt especially true after learning the toll, everything took to Markle, who has since vocalized how difficult it was to be in suchPublic review during pregnancy. And although our obsession with royal birth may not be badly destinying, it was not our best time either. It sounds like a good idea for all people involved to put the royal decline fever behind us.

According toEuropean CommissionThe plastics for single use, especially grocery bags and straws - are responsible for more than 80% of the waste found in the oceans of the world, posing a serious threat to marine life and the environment in general. But several events in 2019 brought signs of positive change to the excessive use of global plastic. For one, the European Parliament voted to prohibit all single-use plastics on the continent, including straws, plates, cups, beverage stirrers and cotton pads. And the United States started to follow from the pursuit, withPlastic bags being banned In states such as Vermont, Maine, Oregon, Delaware, Connecticut and New York.

The celery juice really struck his Zeitgeist this year, with celebrities ofRobert de Niro andOccupied Philippes ToMiranda Kerr And the swearing Kardashians that green juice was nothing less than a magical elixir. We do not buy it then, and we surely will not finish it next year, especially since the nutritional properties of juice are not unique, "said a dieticianSatellite.

The scandal of college admissions

Refuge

It is not so much that we are shocked that the celebrities deceived the system, using money and the power to give their children an unfair advantage. It is that when they were caught, so few of them were willing to admit they did something wrong. In September, actressFélicité Huffman at least recognized thatShe cliffsbut there were others (yes,LORI LOUGHLINIncluded) that really seemed to be confused that they were interviewed at all. Maybe that in 2020, we can focus on holding people responsible and equitable admission practices in the universities of our country?

Momo anxiety

Refuge

We were quite panicked by the demonic woman who, according to ageneralized urban legend, encouraged children to commit violence and self-use. The whole thing turned out to be a hoax,The Guardian Reported in February, but many parents are always torn and understandably. It was not just what Momo was, but what Momo represented - the possibility that something wrong on the internet was the washing of the brains of our children. It is an anxiety that we would love all leave behind us in the next year.

Generational Shaming

Refuge

We will admit it, we had laughter on the"Ok boomer" even. But in general, the constantmockery of different generations has a little old.Millennials are not all lazy and titledAnd hiring them is not the equivalent to clean after a puppy. Gen-Xers are not all lazy andBaby boomers are not all old hippies who ruined the world. People are not so simplistic and one-dimensional: we have all met millennia who behaved more like theBaby Boomers shots, and vice versa.

MINIMALISM OF MARIE KONDO MANIA

Crazy from Netflix

When we first granted to his netflix seriesRanger with Marie Kondo, the methods of reducing the Japanese organization guruMarie Kondo absoutely "joy. "But while we can not deny his methods have proved effective or have helped countless people, we do not necessarily want to be alienated so as not to want to get rid of all our things simply because it's What everyone else does. In addition, some things serve a goal, even if it's not happy!

That anyone pay $ 300 for underwear is outrageous enough, but $ 300 forJean underwear by y / project? It's just not right. It does not matter if you give them an original name as "janties" or "Thong Jeans", it is always an abomination. Denim is a fabric that belongs outside and as concernedGynecologist toldVogueIn April, he is obliged to cause sorrow.

If you thought the last season ofGame Of Thrones Was the worst thing to make modern civilization or a satisfactory conclusion of a beloved series, everyone had an opinion and they were not shy to share it. There is even apetition, signed by nearly two million people, calling the last season to go up completely "with competent writers". Yikes. Can we please move on to something else? It's just a television show, people.

In all started in February when a Michigan dad posted a videoon Facebook From the stunned reaction of his baby after a slice of cheese on his face. The clip went viral and before we know, everyone with easy access to a baby and a slice of cheese entered the weird activity. Those who did not know any baby? Well, they chose to launch the dairy product to theirdogs. We must agree with the political writerMolly Jong-Fast, whoTweeted in March About the inexplicable phenomenon: "I can not help but feel that humanity is condemned."

THE CHALLENGE OF THE BIRD BOX

Refuge

At the end of 2018, Netflix horror movieBirdbox, with blindfoldedSandra BullockTrying to go beyond an ambiguous monster, everyone could talk. Your feelings on the movie aside, we can all agree that the subsequent challengewent viral in early 2019 was a better forgotten moment. Those who have challenged the bird box, some of which were families and young children, posted videos on social media of their attempts to reconstitute the film's premise by going from their day with bands to their eyes. It goes without saying,The results were not pretty. Here are fewer dangerous internet problems in 2020.

There were a lot of reasons to be worriedFestive, the facial assembly application that uses a "Ai-powered photo-publisher technology" to manipulate your photos to make you more young or older. But none of them have to do with other countries steal your resemblance to a negative goal. We are not going to tell you that privacy is not a problem with Facebook, it's absolutely. But the company probably does not consist with the Soviets to "own all your old photos", like thePost of New York reported.

The dental structure of a video game character is not something we would generally give a lot of thought to, but when thetrailer for the nextSonic the hedgehog Live action movie Established in April, everyone on the Internet had the same question: what happens with these Châchers? Or asA Twitter user wonderedAre hedgehog's teeth better than mine? " Anyone who played the original sonique on Sega Genesis knew that the hyperkinetic hedgehog was known for many things - his penchant to collect large amounts of floating gold rings, but a brilliant pearly white set was not one of them. The branch was so strong, paramountredo the mouth of the character and pushed the release date of the film. We will see Sonic, without teeth, in 2020.

"Wine Mom" ​​Culture

Refuge

You will never hear you differ that parenthood is a difficult concert, nor we will not find judgment on anyone who likes to have a glass of wine or two to relax at the end of the day. But somewhere on the line, being a mother and drink wine with other mothers became what seemed to be a norm so cultural that she had the impression of opening a bottle of Chardonnay was a requirement when the moms were gathered to socialize. And maybe it's not the best route for all moms. It was not, for example, forCeleste Yvonne, who spoke toHello AmericaIn September about the question, saying, "I was very well engaged by the culture of mother wine, and I used this culture to medrieve me." ForMoms who do not want to drinkWe hope other options to pay particular attention during the new year.

They are far too small to provide serious protection of harmful UV rays, but notable enough to make you look completely ridiculous. Remember why these miniature sunglasses became popular in the first place? The trend began a few years ago and, although the media had always promised that they wereon, the dimruptive myewear ADF will not seem to disappear. Please leave 2020 being the year when they finally disappear for good.

The fact that celebrities loveBella Hadid andKendall Jenner have been spotted with dad sneakers do not fill us with the confidence that our wish will become reality and this ironicShoe trend will be nothing by a foggy memory of a different hour. But our fingers remain badly crossed. As if paternal style jeans were not enough, sneakers now need to be Dorky dad-chic too? We are always confused on why these things have ever caught. Can not we have one thing in our wardrobe that has a fragment of sincerity?

Not knowing how to feel about Jussie Smollett

Refuge

We love the fox dramaEmpireand we think thatJussie Smollett Was really, really good on the show. But as to whether he did it or did not hire thugs to stage a hate crime? We have no idea what to believe more. Smollett says he's innocent, but the Superintendent of the Chicago PoliceEddie Johnson said he was lying down. CornsoThe new Mayor of ChicagoJohnson shot To lie, smollett is always being beingprosecuted by the city For $ 130,000 to waste the city's time. Who says the truth? We will never know, because we throw ourselves from going to 2020.

Well, he was replaced byYoda baby, an adorable neck that the whole world has decided to want to adopt. Sorry, old yoda. You have been replaced by a tiny gen-z genius. It was probably inevitable.
