Take me back to October 31, 2016

Let's go back to the 2010s.

The date is October 31, 2016, and it's a Monday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. It's Halloween, so kids are trick-or-treating and adults are watching horror movies.

In America, the song "Closer" by The Chainsmokers is at the top of the singles charts, while "Shout Out to My Ex" by Little Mix is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Boo! A Madea Halloween is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Bones", "Black Mirror", "Longmire", and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". It's 2016, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Drake, Lukas Graham, Sia, Mike Posner, The Chainsmokers and Calvin Harris. The 2016 United States presidential election is in full swing, with Hillary Clinton facing off against Donald Trump.

A video clip of Danielle Bregoli shouting "Catch me outside, how about that?" is going viral as social media users repeatedly mimic her catch phrase. The "Evil Kermit" meme is currently going viral, as people use the format to describe their battles with their inner conscience. The games "Battlefield 1" and "Civilization VI" have just been released.

FBI director James Comey has just announced that his agency will be investigating newly discovered emails that are pertinent to the FBI's previous investigation of Hillary Clinton's private server. As a result, Hillary Clinton's poll numbers begin to drop. Newly released robot toys called "Hatchimals" are in high demand. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Fidel Castro, Big Syke, George Michael, and Carrie Fisher would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain", "Fallout 4", "Pokemon Go", and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
