That's a Future Daniel Problem

Wellity, wellity, wellity… if it isn’t the bridge I said I’d cross when I came to it.

Admittedly not my joke, but it is one of the three funniest things I read on the World Wide Web this year. The other two were:

🤣 “I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been to Chernobyl. It’s seven.”

and

💨 “Wind chimes were invented so stupid people would know when the wind was blowing.”

Did you have any favorites this year? Or has it all been one depressing slog from Jan 1 to December 31st with no respite from the sadness, however brief?
