Time for a little R&R

Congratulations, readers. You've survived the perils of Monday. While I, too, experienced that reluctant and sluggish submission to responsibilities, I also had a therapy session this morning. Which makes bending over for the man a little more tolerable. Instead of focusing on the time that's been spent on boring things like “work” and “chores,” it's important to be present and enjoy the moment, however possible. We've put together this big batch of memes with the intent of aiding you in that q…

They're a blast from the past.

Heads up: I'm a millennial. As a small child I used to play in the dirt, create morbid stories starring my American Girl Dolls, and play old Star Wars games on the family PC. Memes didn't exist, and I didn't have access to the internet. Many Boomers take pride in the fact that their means of entertainment were extremely analog when they were youths, but I don't. It's actually my belief that memes would have enriched my younger days. I mean, it's obvious that being exposed to memes as a kid woul…

Happy Tuesday. Has life's endless rise and grind got you down in the dumps? Do you ever find yourselves craving something a little less permanent than the sweet release of death (sleeping your life away)? Well, we've some good news. There's something better out there than being unconscious or a very premature demise. No, it's not eating an entire pizza by yourself. We're talkin' bout memes . Completely giving oneself up to the dumb humor of image macros and funny tweets greatly rivals going to…

The Disneyfication of Greek mythology in 1997 animation Hercules is pretty hilarious if you're familiar with the real (and very messed up) lore. In the movie, Zeus, Hera and Hercules are presented as one big wholesome family. The actual legend is full of adultery, violence, revenge, and terrible parenting. In the Disney movie, Hercules is the beloved child of Zeus and Hera. He is stripped of his immortality by Hades and forced to life as a mortal on earth. In the original myth, Hercules is not…

Memes both cultured & dank

Ancient history and mythology is full of pain and tragedy, but we all know that where there's tragedy, there's humor. Throughout time, humans have laughed at their own cosmic misfortune. Sometimes, it's all we can do. We've collected some funny ancient history memes that poke fun at the past and cleverly reference significant moments in history.

There are three types of math geeks: the ones who are good at math, the vengeful ones who do math to epically own others, and the ones who study equations just so they can get the jokes in dank math memes. If we were to visualize these math geek subcategories using a three-set Venn-diagram, these dank math and science memes would lie right in the center. Before you go correcting my lazy logic, just know that I failed pre-calculus in high school. Anyway. Enjoy the memes, nerd.

We're probably not alone in feeling like history class is, well, ancient history at this point. While we enjoyed tales of social justice and exploration (and balked at tragic plagues and bloody wars), our brains haven't really held on to many of the details. Fortunately, history memes have a way of reminding us of all those sentences we highlighted in our textbooks. They provide us with the feeling of being smart as we recall the strategies of Genghis Khan, or revel in the fact that there was e…

The greatest nation on earth

We've got some good news for history buffs who also happen to appreciate the finer things in life. You know, things of culture. And if you're a man of culture you'll know we're talking about anime and history memes. Thanks to the r/HistoryAnimemes subreddit, there's a wealth of history meme/ anime meme mashups at our disposal. You know, the best of both worlds. Some of the memes are a bit depressing, others are slightly less doomy. But we're just glad that there's finally a way we can enjoy the…

You don't have to crack open a textbook or a non-fiction account of some historical event to indulge in a little history. Right now, it's perfectly understandable that any of us would want to escape the present with a little trip to the past. But what if we told you that the journey through time could be one that is humorous in nature? I know, we're blowing your minds right now. But it's true. All you have to do to enjoy some historical teachings and humor is scroll through some history memes .…

Et tu, Brute?

No lies detected.

It is said that history repeats itself. And judging by the current turmoil in Russian and Ukraine, and the consistent shit show pretty much everywhere else, the statement does bear some truth. For all the world's technological advancements, hard-learned lessons, and brutal wars, we can't seem to get past the scourges of intolerance, hatred, and greed. While this senseless repetition is exhausting to witness in real time, it's a bit less torturous when it's expressed in the form of memes. Histor…
