Isn't it weird to think that maybe one day our experiences wil be retold in meme form? 2020 has already inspired a zillion memes, but these trials are going to be in history books. Hell, there's probably going to be an entire chapter on coronavirus alone. While we struggle to keep our heads high as obstacles are flung at us, it's nice to look back and remember that the past sucked too. That's where these history memes come in. While we don't take pleasure in the pains of our predecessors, it's nice to feel a bit of solidarity.

As an aging and crotchety millennial, it's easy to feel a little resentful about all the technological advancements we were unable to enjoy while in school. While we didn't have to walk for miles (through snow and sleet, of course) to get to school, things do seem to have been a little easier for Zoomers and ::checks notes:: Generation Alpha. For one, there are far more ways to get the answers to difficult homework questions. Everyone who is currently struggling through remote learning can pretty easily cheat on an exam. While we definitely had a leg up on Gen X, our internet provided less easy information than it does now. Apparently these days you can find entire exams online. Must be nice. 

What stings more than general accessibility is the fact that education seems a lot more fun in recent years than it used to be. In literature classes, teachers are assigning works that better reflect the ills of society. You know, instead of forcing the youth to read Catcher In The Rye every year. And while many history courses still gloss over a lot of the more heinous historical events and periods, curriculums are getting decidedly more woke. What we envy the most, however, is the way memes are now used to convey educational and scholarly subjects. You want math memes? They exist. Philosophical and scientific memes? You guessed it, they are all over Reddit. If you're studying history and are tired of flash cards? There are literally thousands of history memes to help you cram and laugh while you do it. They definitely beat copying the same facts over and over until they're ingrained in your memory. 

While we can't turn back time and start school over again, we can still indulge in delightfully dank and educational memes about the past. And so can you. If we're being honest, reading about history is a lot more fun when you're doing it for pleasure.

We firmly believe that nobody has to feel guilty for scrolling through memes, but these historical and educational memes are definitely nothing to feel ashamed about. Looking through these memes is basically studying.

Let's face it, 2020 has been something out of an apocalyptic horror story. But it's important to put things into perspective. Historically speaking, the world used to be pretty damn f*cked up. We're not about to compare Covid-19 to the Spanish Flu or Black Death, but maybe (to some people) it's comforting to remember we're far from the first people to deal with plagues, fire and brimstone. These spicy history memes are a great reminder of that. 

This meme, which features a school girl pointing her tuba's bell at another girl's face, is the perfect way to symbolize the things in your life that just won't shut the hell up. You know, like when your mom won't stop lecturing you when you're just trying to tell her a joke, or when that goddamn Windows update keeps popping up when you're trying to close down your computer. STOP trying to make Windows updates happen, they're NOT going to happen.

"Donimo's Pizza" in Pyongyang, North Korea is our favorite new Facebook account run by some seriously dedicated trolls who apparently love clams and pineapple on their pizza. Not to be confused with "Domino's pizza" in the Unite States, of course. We'll just let you take a look at the account yourselves because it really needs no further explanation - nor can we give any further explanation for that matter.

If you didn't pay much attention during history or hate reading dumb books, these memes might help you seem smarter. They won't help you write an award-winning essay, but they might help you in random conversation or when you're trying to impress someone who is only moderately intelligent. So who said memes have no educational value?

These two guys took an age-old Christmas tradition and put their own spin on it - by dressing up in creative and hilarious costumes. The last pic in the list contains a cute little surprise!

English is a pretty tough language to learn, so even though these translations are hysterical, we salute anyone trying to learn!
