Take me back to June 8, 2017

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Thursday, June 8, 2017. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. The summer of 2017 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September.

The song "Despacito (Remix)" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and the movie Wonder Woman is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It's 2017, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Ed Sheeran, Luis Fonsi, Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar, The Chainsmokers, Migos, Sam Hunt and Post Malone. A toy called the "fidget spinner" is becoming a worldwide sensation. A new Internet meme called "Mocking Spongebob" iS GoInG vIrAl at the moment.

Comedian Kathy Griffin has sparked controversy by uploading a video of herself holding a fake severed head that resembles Donald Trump. On Twitter, Donald Trump has recently posted a half-finished tweet that uses the word "covfefe" instead of "coverage". This mistake has led to the creation of hundreds of Internet memes. A meme called "The Floor Is..." is going viral at the moment.

The United States is facing criticism following its decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. Eight people have died following an Islamic terrorist attack on London Bridge. The attackers drove their van into pedestrians before crashing and jumping out to stab people at the Borough Market area. UK Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to hold a Snap Election has backfired, as her party have lost 13 seats in the 2017 United Kingdom general election.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Prodigy, Stevie Ryan, Chester Bennington, and John Heard would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Big Bang Theory", "The Walking Dead", "Jane the Virgin", and "Stranger Things". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Cities: Skylines", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Horizon Zero Dawn", and "What Remains of Edith Finch".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Horrid Henry", "Paw Patrol", "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn", and "Game Shakers". Popular toys at the moment include Hello Barbie, MiP (robot), LEGO Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, and the Nintendo Switch.
