They say that people who don’t learn their history are doomed to repeat it. In my case that was true. I repeated 9th grade history twice. I paid very little attention.
Lucky for me, now I don’t have to try to learn history from dry old books or snooze-inducing lectures because the internet is full of history memes that bring the past alive! Finally, I can learn AND laugh AND not actually learn. Let’s look at ten lessons history has for us, in meme form.
10. There are two men inside you
9. We’ve always been upwardly mobile
8. Anxiety is not new
7. Science…took a while
6. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
5. We’re all terrible
4. Holy Wars don’t take much
3. Youth rebellion is a constant
2. Art inspires innovation
1. “Flower power” used to mean something very different
I feel like now we have the wisdom of the ages in our hearts and minds. We’ve basically got a history degree but without the crushing debt and hopeless job market!
What’s your favorite historical factoid?
