Sick and tired of history memes from the twentieth century? Well you're in luck - this gallery contains 20 dank memes from the times of the Wild West, also known as the Middle Ages. What the f*ck people were doing back then, we'll never truly understand. 

Gesǣlig Eastordæg! Or something like that.

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.

If you're someone who is convinced that the past was just a better time, just take a gander through these memes and you'll know that that wasn't exactly the case. Now please enjoy!

We don't want to Russia you, but we think you should scroll down ASAP to look at these Belgrade-A sh*tposts. They're worth Czech-in' out, we promise. They'll make you say, "Irish I could go vacation in Europe right now." They'll make ya laugh and Serbia well.

We don't mean to show our age, but damn, we hope schools have started incorporating history memes into lesson plans. We'd have been a whole lot more engaged if we could laugh through the classes - especially AP European History. This big gallery covers everything from Ancient Rome through World War II, a veritable smorgasbord of historical humor. So happy scrolling. You may end up smarter for it.

These memes will only fully make sense to those who are familiar with Balkan culture, and the rest of you will have to settle for being slightly confused. 

So whether you're Albanian, Macedonian, Bosnian, or anything in between, we think you'll find these niche memes highly amusing and relatable.

These memes are for the history buffs and lovers of folklore. Ancient Greece was a fricken wild place according to the mythology alone, so it's no wonder that so many historians and nerds alike are completely fascinated by it!

We know that all Eastern European countries have their own unique cultures and identities, but there are also many similarities between them. And of course, many hilarious stereotypes! So whether you're Polish, Czech, Russian or Moldovan, we hope you'll find some amusement in these Slavic memes!

The British government released its "Get Ready for Brexit" campaign on Sunday and let's just say, the rest of the UK is not impressed. The campaign comes in the form of billboards and social media advertisements in anticipation of Britain's October 31st exit from the EU.

One billboard in particular that reads, "Get Ready for Brexit," has recently become a meme on Twitter. Many Twitter users are mocking the ad for encouraging a "shared responsibility," and fears of what could happen to the average UK citizen - including losing access to medication.

You can read some of the snarky tweets and memes about it below!

Donald Trump has apparently recently expressed interest in purchasing Greenland with "varying degrees of seriousness," according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Yes, you read that correctly - Greenland, the massive autonomous Danish territory northeast of Canada with a population of just 56,000. 

(And not to mention, "abundant resources.")

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your personal take on the situation), Greenland has stated that they are absolutely not for sale. 

This of course hasn't stopped memers and Twitter-dwellers alike from mocking the absurd proposal! We just hope that Trump is aware that Greenland is, in fact, not very green...

These colors don't run but they do make for some pretty hysterical memeage.

Being Americans, we don't know sh*t about Irish politics, but we do know that Michael D. Higgins is quite possibly the most adorable politician we've ever seen. In fact, he kind of resembles an Irish version of Danny DeVito. Please enjoy these pics of the 5'3" Irish president doing adorable things!
