Americans [realised how different](https://www.buzzfeed.com/rossyoder/british-chinese-takeout-food-explained) most takeaway Chinese food in the UK is to theirs, and it was — well, interesting. I'll defend it, sorry.

Though the clip is old, the video of Miss France's voice seemingly breaking mid-shout [has gone viral again](https://www.tiktok.com/@graceandgrayson/video/7188013282664533291?q=miss%20universe%20france&t=1703856098600) on TikTok this year.

What did Angela Basset do, according to Arianna DeBose at the 2023 BAFTAs?

When Susi Vidal posted a TikTok explaining that she didn't like storebought pesto, she [probably didn't expect](https://www.buzzfeed.com/chronicallyonline/susi-pesto-an-old-justin-bieber-clip-and-more-things-on-the) thousands of people to Stitch the clip before launching into their wildest, most unhinged stories. But they did. Thanks, Susi.

Finish this sentence: "Call me crazy if you want, but I've never liked store-bought..."

A TikTok trend in which women asked the men in their lives how often they think about the Roman empire [blew up this year](https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliacorrigan/men-thinking-ancient-roman-empire) — and it turned out that they think about it much, much more than I'd expected.

It's the Roman empire!

And what did we discover that men thought about much more often than we'd expected?

The beauty influencer's accent permanently altered the pronunciation of Kim Kardashian's name for me forever, and it [seems I'm not alone.](https://www.tiktok.com/@mikaylanogueira/video/7228996897623608618?q=kim%20k%20mikayla&t=1703857089957)

You were offline during a lot of 2023

You're just online enough to keep up with what everyone in your friend group is talking about, but beyond that, you're happy putting the screens down. I'm jealous.

You logged in a bit, but not much

You might not have gotten invested in every single internet drama this year, but it's safe to say no major meme passed you by. In fact, you only realise how online you've been in 2023 when you bring up an obscure internet reference in front of your friends, who stare at you like you're speaking a different language (their loss).

You're pretty online

Did you watch the Nicole Rafiee video about the downfall of the _Frenemies_ podcast? Can you recite parts of the James Charles vs Tati Westbrook feud to this day? It's okay, friend. I'm chronically online too. And it was worth it for this quiz, right? _Right???_

You physically could not put your phone down in 2023
