If you thought 2020 was a wild ride, hold onto your hats—because according to the internet, 2025 might just make you say, "WTF!" Why? Because it starts with “WTF.” It is the latest meme trend that has also prompted a conspiracy theory on social media.
What are people saying?
Social media users are suggesting that since the 2025 calendar starts with “WTF", the weekday sequence of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and also is an abbreviation of the expletive phrase “What the f**k”, and the pattern matches the way 2020 began, so it is going to be a crazy year. As you may very well recall, back in 2020, the whole world was fighting the pandemic, in addition to other major events from around the globe. In short, it was a year of unprecedented events.
