2022, you flew by. Join Mashable as we look back at everything that's delighted, amazed, or just confused us in 2022.

The world might be burning, but at least we have tweets. Well, for now.

Believe it or not, we're at the end of 2022. Yep, it's December. That's month no. 12. And there are only 12 months in the year. Time, what a concept!
