education

If you've been at all conscious for literally any part of 2020, you're probably aware that everything has pretty much gone to shit. Between the pandemic, politics, and the general lack of humanity, things have been pretty damn bleak. But in case you need a little more evidence, these cringey and arguably disheartening pictures will definitely help solidify the sad state of the world. Hopefully 2021 will be better.

We often lament the current state of healthcare in the United States, but judging by these social media posts, we need to take a much harder look at the state of our school systems. These morons either cut all their Sex Ed classes or even worse - didn't have access to a sexual education program at all. 

For more cringey ignorance, check out these abominable posts we shared last year.

Nerds, you might get made fun of in school, but you can rest assured knowing that you'll be making more money than all of us one day. So here are some memes dedicated to the academically inclined! Do you want some science-specific memes? Fear not, 'cause eBaum's World has you covered.

We've got some seriously bad news for fish-lovers. According to a report from nonprofit Oceana, over 20% of 449 fish that they tested were mislabeled, exposing some pretty serious "fish fraud." This is a staggering percentage, especially when considering that less than 1% of fish is tested for fraud. There's a huge chance that the expensive fish you're ordering while dining out is cheap - or even, according to this related Twitter thread from a biology professor, dangerous. There are fish out there that will hurt you to eat. And, as @AwesomeBioTA's class discovered, some of this "fish" is almost too disgusting for words.

A good, solid knowledge of grammar is important for anyone who wants to get their point across in an intelligent manner. But we all know those grammar snobs who just love to use the good old ad hominem fallacy - that is, attacking a grammatical mistake that is completely irrelevant to the argument at hand.

These memes are for people who like ancient history, 20th century history, and everything in between. If you're a history buff then we're pretty sure you'll find something to laugh at. But if you like content that's a little more specialized, we've got you covered with some ancient history memes!

Not a soul knows when schools will operate in-person again, so we thought we'd deliver you the next best thing to real education: educational memes. Okay, so admittedly they won't come anywhere close to the school experience, but at least they're more entertaining than school? Sure, we'll go with that.

We share a lot of memes on this site, and while some of them tackle philosophy, literature and art, there's not much representation of the right brain. These science memes are intended to change that. They feature a healthy mix of very basic science references and shitposts, and some more intense material for the smart and driven people who were in STEM classes. They're no substitute for actually studying these big-brained subjects, but they might make you feel smarter.

If you like history but the 20th century isn't really your jam, then we think you'll like these memes from antiquity. Whether it's ancient Rome or Greece that tickles your fancy, we're pretty sure you'll find them amusing!

We're no experts, but we're pretty sure that students would be way more likely to pay attention in history class if teachers implemented memes into their lesson plans. So let these memes be today's little history lesson from us on ancient Egypt!

Listen, we can't claim to be mathmeticians. And we haven't been able to use the Pythagorean theorem since closing our math textbooks. But we know what odd and even numbers are. Unfortunately, according to this terrifying Tumblr thread, there are many people who can't say the same. Brace yourselves for some mind-boggling stupidity. And pray that schools are getting better. If the children are our future, we might be in trouble.

We know, we know - we're a little history meme-obsessed. But we can't help it, we like a little dose of education in our memes. Is that such a crime? We think not.

Scroll down for the memes, and if these in particular aren't really your jam, check out some ancient history content instead!

History memes tend to be dominated by content from the Cold War era. Don't get us wrong, we do love those, but sometimes we need to mix it up a bit. As is such, we present you with this batch of ancient history memes that we think you're gonna like!

You guys really love the history memes, and you're in luck because so do we, so we'll keep giving them to you as long as you want 'em. Now please sit back and enjoy some educational content!
