The internet can be a crazy place with wonky memes movements and stuff that people who suck at the internet just don’t know. Most people have no idea! But you. YOU. You, Gizmodo reader, are ace at the internet. Boss, even. I expect you to know all 20 things that happened on the internet in this picture. List ‘em out in the comments.
Syzygy did the same thing for 2010 too so after you solve last year’s, you can go back and check out that one. if you need a jumpstart, I’ll break you off the easy ones. Nyan cat. Rebecca Black. Anonymous. Help figure out the rest! [Syzygy via Fast.co]

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 11:16 AMIs the Sphinx a reference to the Egyptian revolution and the use of Twitter to bring down a government and win the right to vote?
The boat with the bird is a Rainbow Warrior? Maybe one of them was launched or sunk?
