Last week didn't catch fire like we have a few times in the past but it was a challenging topic. This week is similar but instead of focusing on recently, we will focus on the whole year.

Here we go...

Ok so let’s get into it.

What crazy or interesting or surprising thing happened in 2023?

What news story shocked or surprised you...or maybe you saw it coming but most people didn't. Was there a scandal? An disaster? Some gaff by a politician or something even sillier.

If you'd like you can share personal news as well, but try to shock us with your news if you can ;-)

Feel free to make as many threads as you want.

I will also be engaging with and upvoting any threads with the #crossculture tag and I will ask a leo curator to do the same.

Let’s get the community really active on threads 😉

Join us on Discord!

And check out Untangled Knots Podcast, my discussions with various friends from around their world about their local cultures and unique personal lifestyle and perspective. I’ve already talked to friends from Indonesia, Holland, Nigeria, Hong Kong, America, Japan and Venezuela.

Please share us with your friends who might be interested in other cultures, the more people we reach the more people we can bring back to Hive.

Hey guys...good topic. I think I'll start with this crazy thing, because we haven't started 2024 yet 😅.
