It seems like the trends on /r/DankMemes just kind of spawn out of nowhere and honestly we'll never totally understand it. The latest craze is Greek gods, so here are 15 of 'em that we found particularly strange and amusing.

You don't need to be a history scholar to appreciate the informed comedy of these history memes. From Henry VIII to classic World War II memes, these jokes will make you feel like you aced history class, whether you did or not. And if these memes don't satisfy your nerdy cravings, these historical tidbits of humor might do the trick.
If you're a high school student who loathes going to your history class every day, then you may want to try some history memes instead. They're far more interesting than sitting in your boring class or strolling through an equally boring museum. Just take our word for it and scroll at your leisure.
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.
What's better than education in the form of memes? Nothing, that's what. Any students out there should request that their history teachers use funny memes to make class just a little more fun.
Unless, of course, your teacher is a Boomer, in which case you're outta luck cause they'll never understand.
Like with the inception of most dank memes, you might find yourself wondering, wtf. Well, good thing you have us here to describe how the strangest memes became popular; this particular meme, entitled "When Was Calcium Invented?" got its start in October when someone posted a meme to Reddit showing that someone had Googled when calcium was invented (1808, as it turns out). From there on out, dank memers have taken it upon themselves to show what life was like before the inventions of various things. All in sarcastic nature, of course.
Instead of going to a boring museum or reading a tedious textbook in your art history class, suggest to your teacher that you review some of these classical art memes instead. Will they help you actually learn about art history? Probably not, but they are funny and relatable, so what's the harm in that?
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.
Paging all history nerds! These historical memesare a little more specific than our usual galleries - and they'll please anyone with a bizarre fascination with the Roman Empire. If your interest in the past covers broader subjects, check out this wider variety of history memes. They'll only disappoint if you're anything less than a meme scholar.
We cover a lot of history memes, but you don't need a funny picture to find the past interesting or hysterical. These Tumblr posts are an amazing reminder of the hilarity of yesteryear, as well as some pretty freakin' cool facts.
We love nerding out over history pics and trivia tidbits. If you're also into that kind of thing, then you'll definitely love these photos that show different angles of well-known historical events that you almost certainly haven't seen before.
