A man beat supermen and a dog shot a woman. Just another month in 2026.
Welcome to yet another edition of WTF Happened, a monthly recap of news from a variety of topics and sources with some personal reflection on recent events. The whole reason this exists is we didn't want to have to ask AI for event recaps in the future. Everything is hand-researched and hand-written... or at least typed with a mouse and keyboard. This month saw two new major virus outbreaks as well as handicapped Claude AI and an unregulated Olympian level sports competition event!
Portal 2 modernized! Robin Williams as a stand user!
Welcome to the April 2026 edition of WTF Happened! This is a recap of the highlights of the month of April in the year of our lord Gaben, 2026. These recap articles cover world news, tech news, a little U.S. politics with a sprinkle of non-U.S. politics and a bunch of other stuff with the goal of highlighting the biggest news of the month! The general goal is to give you highlights for the month for a variety of topics...
Death by ICE... and cold weather! Canada store hijacked! Smart LEGOs!
This is the first WTF Happened recap article of 2026 but also the second article to appear on the new WTFHappened.net website. These recap articles are a short highlight reel of what happened in a specific period of time, in this case, the month of January 2026. It is now February, and I realize this could come across as late news, but this site is not about chasing headlines; WTF Happened is all about archiving interesting things about the recent past and on occasion, the not-so-recent past. Without further ado...
Don't mind the shutdown, government's fine. MrBeast Land is a thing now.
On November 12, the longest United States government shutdown ended. We broke the record by 8 days with this shutdown lasting 43 days! MrBeast opened his first theme park and announced a contest to win money in the local currency because of course he did.
