Do you even remember 2020?! Do our quiz of the year quiz | First Dog on the Moon

"Even though the year started with terrible bushfires it still seems like it was a simpler time. Who doesn't hold a hose?"

"Billionaires?"

"Fascists?"

"All of the above?"

SAD

One cartoon this year suggested some nice things folks might do help them cope with Covid lockdown. Which is my personal favourite suggestion?

Think about vegetables for a bit – they are AMAZING! how can vegetables help you today? – How can you help vegetables? The road to happiness runs through a veggie patch.

Every day in every way work ceaselessly to dismantle white supremacist patriarchal capitalism and support your comrades in the struggle.

Exercise and sleep are good and important for happiness- but you know that – try not to give yourself such a hard time about everything – you’re doing the best that you can.

Read an adorable book about climate change for younger readers (10-14) written by a penury afflicted yet beloved children’s author/cartoonist. Even though I made all these answers up this is my quiz and I say that reading The Carbon-Neutral Adventures of the Indefatigable EnviroTeens is the best thing ever.

This year Brenda the civil disobedience penguin engaged in loads of different wildly unsuccessful civil disobedience which was the most successful?

"Helping the fig that nobody gives"

"Participating in a convoy to annoy coal enthusiasts"

This one – a number of coal enthusiasts were annoyed

"Protesting in space by occupying the international space station"

"Bandicoot facts! Which of the following outlandish statements about bandicoots is untrue?"

One bandicoot can dig more than 40 snoot holes an hour. At around 500 snoot holes a night that’s 13 kg of dirt every evening! Almost 5 tonnes a year per bandicoot.

They make nests which are built with leaf litter and soil and sometimes feature a hollow nesting chamber. The bandicoots in our backyard moved into a rabbit burrow.

Bandicoot snoot holes break through the hard ground to let water, seeds and nutrients in. They reduce fires by lowering fuel loads and spread important fungi that help plants deal with crappy Australian soils.

Australia’s 8th Prime Minister James Scullin had a pet bandicoot named Monty. This is untrue – James Scullin was Australia’s 9th Prime Minister.
