Facebook has released its annual Year in Review lists for 2014, and they are pretty grim.
In case you needed a reminder of how terrible things were this year, here are the top 10 topics in the United States:
Ebola Virus Outbreak Ice Bucket Challenge Robin Williams Super Bowl Michael Brown & Ferguson World Cup Conflict in Gaza Midterm Elections Malaysia Airlines ISIS
Basically lots of horrible deaths and tragedies, but… Ice Bucket Challenge! Yay!
World-wide, the World Cup was the number 1 topic, with Ebola and the Brazil elections in spots 2 and 3.
Other notable winners: Beyonce topped the entertainers category, LeBron James was the most discussed athlete, "Game of Thrones" was the top TV show, "Frozen' the top movie, and Pharrell's "Happy" was the top song.
Facebook even made a top ten list just for the best Ice Bucket Challenge videos - a phenomenon that the company considers a milestone in terms of social sharing - topped by George W. Bush and Will Smith.
"I think the Ice Bucket Challenge was the first time a lot of people realized you could shoot a video and share it," said Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer.
