This is an excellent list though I think the last two have little impact outside of tech-heavy fora like this (tbf you specifically mention "tech discussion").
Most of the others actually mean something in the real world.

tbf some of these are quite contradictory no way anyone could have predicted them and not look like a fool, which is a sign of the crazy time we live in.
Evergrand and Lira collapsing with the markets barely reacting for example.

Actually I think that's a property of most significant predictions that came true - and it's nothing new.
Reality is and always was much crazier than our imagination and sense of what is normal/possible.
ordered by my subjective level of importance:
- Increased spread of covid variants right until the end of 2021 (along with prolonging of lockdown measures).
- Official recognition by the Fed that inflation is no longer transitory
- State Capitol attack.
- Increased confrontation with Russia.
- Taliban taking over Afghanistan in a blink of an eye.
- Stock market smashing all time high after all time high.
- Evergrande collapse.
- Lira collapse
- The Great Resignation
- web3, nft and metaverse dominating tech discussion.
