What unexpected, unusual, weird, funny or meme-worthy things will happen in 2025?
Please add answers, but answers which are clearly neither unexpected, unusual, funny or weird can get disqualified and resolve as N/A.
Examples from 2024: Martial law declared in South Korea, Hawk Tuah Girl involved in crypto scandal, Hezbollah Pager Explosion, Assad regime falling, a Health Insurance CEO is assassinated, anything that caused people to say "damn, this wasn't on my 2024 bingo card"
Update 2024-30-12 (PST): Resolution Criteria Clarifications:
Pandemic: Any pandemic declared during 2025 by WHO. This includes non-novel pathogens, but excludes ongoing pandemics declared before 2025 like HIV or COVID-19.
Major Volcanic Eruption: Modified to ≥6 on VEI scale.
Elon Flipping to a Democrat: If he calls himself a democrat or states positive views towards the Democratic party or its politicians in general over Republicans in general, it will count as a clear yes resolution.

3.00@BaryLevy Does it need to specifically have the Vine name associated with it? Or could this be like how YouTube implemented Shorts to compete with TikTok?
@Quroe X already has short form videos, so either have the Vine name associated with it, or clearly be a successor to vine such as having the a few seconds length limit.
@marvingardens Pandemic is any pandemic declared during 2025 by WHO. This includes non-novel pathogens, but not ongoing pandemics declared before 2025 like HIV or COVID-19.
Modified the volcanic eruption question to ≥6 on VEI scale.
Flipping to a democrat is less clear, assume for now if he calls himself a democrat, or says he views the democratic party or democratic politicians much more favorably than republicans, that will count as a clear yes resolution.
