history

It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way.

This gallery has a little bit of everything when it comes to history. We've got your medieval history, WWII history, Revolutionary War history, ancient history, etc. 

We just hope you can learn a thing or two from these memes, unlike your 10th grade history class where the teacher just talked about his divorce for an hour straight every day...

You don't need to feel guilty for perusing these history memes. They're basically like going to school or watching a public television show about our ancestors. Go ahead. They're educational. 

What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt! 

We can bet that history buffs will really get a kick out of this Twitter thread written by Anne Theriault!

This gallery is for those who are fascinated by both medieval history and dumb classical art memes! We're fans of the artwork created during that time, but that doesn't mean it isn't completely and utterly WTF. And of course, if you want even more weird classical art memes, check out eBaum's World!

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.

Go check out Life in Moments on Twitter for more fascinating pics from history!

We talk about this sh*t a lot, but life is hard. It often feels like we're living in Woman In Dunes, toiling away in futility, constantly trying to dig ourselves out of the wake of a sandstorm, only to be buried again, and again. The Sisyphean nature of our daily struggles is tragic. That's why we deserve the momentary solace of scrolling through stupid memes.

If we're just going by the artwork created, the middle ages were a f*cking strange time, but we're kind of a fan given how many great memes have resulted from it. 

These memes contain a solid mix of bizarre art, interesting history tidbits and of course, trebuchets - because memes about Medieval times wouldn't be complete without those.

These memes are the perfect combination of culture from days of yore and what some may consider our distinct lack of culture. Whatever your opinion of  memes, these artsy tidbits hit just the right relatable spot for us. If you're looking for something a little more dank and fact-based, you can always check our our history memes here and here. 

This batch of classical art memes is a little more on the cynical side - just the way we like 'em! We've got your Jesus, Revolutionary War era, and of course weird-looking animals (did no one know what a cat looked like back then...?). We hope you enjoy them just as much as we do.

Thesefunny memes, comics, and tweets have no real purpose other than pure time wastage. The satisfaction they provide is as fleeting as our lives, dust in the wind, soon to be returned to the ether. But that shouldn't stop you from scrolling through them as you avoid your true responsibilities. 

You could say that these memes are full of...red flags. Ba-dum-tss. You think that pun is lame? Well So-vi-et.

But seriously though, is anyone else here a huge nerd for the Cold War era like we are? Whether you're a capitalist or a communist, it's safe to say that we can all come together to laugh over these hilarious memes!
