history

Knowing history doesn't necessarily make you smarter than anyone else, but it sure feels like it. Sure it's cool to know about sweating sickness and emu wars, but it what can one do with that knowledge other than mention it to uninterested bystanders? Well, you can indulge in sweet history memes for for the ages.

The era we're living through seems pretty bleak most of the time. It's hard to ignore the pandemic and our current political shitshow. But the past has been just as bleak, if not more. These dank history memes use humor to lighten up that darkness. As a bonus? They're kind of educational! 

Some memes don't fade away - they just get stronger. It's been 7 years since the 'Who Would Win' format first came on the meme scene. It was first used on 4chan, but has seemingly taken over Reddit since its inception. The meme is insanely versatile, which is probably why it's still popular today. To celebrate the 7th "memeversary" we've rounded up some of our all time favorite examples of the meme. Enjoy!

While it's said that history is always doomed to repeat itself, it's definitely anything but boring. These fresh (and spicy) history memes take the stuff of dull classes and actually spin it into something funny. Lord knows you'll probably learn more from these funny pictures than you will from a Zoom class.

History links all of us in more ways than one. The most obvious right now of course is that we get real specific references about the fall of Rome and the crimes of various empires. How dare there be a kind of meme that makes us feel..smart? Anyway there are tons of history memes to feel smart about.
