Some individuals like to indulge in slightly more productive or crafty activities, such as woodworking, …

The Best Fresh History Memes We’ve Seen This Week (8/10/2022)
There are many memes that leave a person with zero questions. Those relatable work memes, anything hyper-topical, parenting memes. They’re all pretty self-explanatory. Work sucks, bosses are terrible, parenting leads to lack of sleep, we all know the drill. We’d be remiss to not include that dogs and cats are cute. When the basicness of …

A Joyous Jumble of Random Memes and Tweets
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 …

Funny History Memes That Poke Fun at the World’s Past
Having a bad day? Me too. I just found out that my rent is getting raised 14%, I’m accidentally hungover, I’m broke as hell, my FitBit has been lost by the USPS, and I’m not feeling fulfilled in my life. Some people might tell me to take an Advil, suck it up, eat rice and …

Memes That Educate And Entertain
The 1990s was the golden age of edutainment. I might be a little biased, but I wholeheartedly believe that The Magic School Bus and Bill Nye The Science Guy are the only reasons that there are any Millennial and Generation Z scientists. If your 5th-grade science teacher rolled out a big fat TV on a …

History Memes For People Avoiding the Present

Throughout the history of civilization, art has been an unparalleled tool for understanding the zeitgeist of a given era. Call us crazy, but we like to think that memes are a lot like classical paintings if you think about them as cultural documents of the time. A lot of art from the past have even …

The Best History Memes We Enjoyed This Week (7/21/2022)
I was not a cool kid. Up until high school, my experiences with friendship generally started with convenience and were maintained by mutual interests. But because I was not cool, these interests were a bit unorthodox. I was obsessed with reading ultra-bleak history tomes, as well as even bleaker fiction. Much of my choices surrounded …

History Memes For Humor-Minded Buffs
It’s easy to idealize the past when the present is, um, lacking. Maybe that’s why nostalgia is so present in media. We’re not just talking about those ’90s kids memes. We’re talking about all the music that hearkens back to bygone eras – like the ’70s and ’80s. It can be said that every generation …

Dank Ancient Roman Memes Steeped In Historical Humor
Paging all history nerds! It should come as no surprise to any of our readers that we consider ourselves history (meme) buffs. We take great pleasure in serving up jokes that use the past as a punchline. The past, however, is a pretty broad designation of time. So we generally mix up memes that cover …
