If you're feeling guilty about spending the better part of your waking life on the internet, might we suggest devoting some of that time to history memes? They're funny and they're moderately educational - the perfect combination for feeling better about what others might consider a waste of time. We'd wager that even your parents could appreciate them. We've included a mix of classics and some fresh jokes from r/historymemes, but you can find more of our historical compilations here and here.

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.
