17 chillingly accurate predictions about what’s to come in 2019.

Every year, we sit down and lay out our predictions for the year ahead.

Why?

Because everyone knows that twins are magic but also spooky. 

Last year, some of our predictions included:

• People under the age of 30 no longer communicate in words. Just memes. And occasionally gifs.
• Someone will write an opinion piece in early December about how Love Actually is actually really messed up and HOLY SH*T HOW MANY TIMES CAN SOMEONE WRITE EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
• A person will say something perfectly reasonable. Twitter promptly ruins their life.
• Uber Eats goes down at 4pm on a Thursday. Thousands starve to death.

We can obviously all agree that our instincts were shockingly correct.
