History memes get better and better every day. Maybe it's because we're living in a historic era currently. Maybe it's because we prefer to laugh at the mistakes of those in the past rather than confront the realities of the present. Or maybe we're just bored and looking at something universally understood to laugh at. Anyone can love history memes. In fact, interest in them has grown dramatically over the past few years, and now they're always popular, with millions of us wanting to pretend we're learning something important while procrastinating on our actual schoolwork.

Whether you're a history expert or you don't know anything about the Minoan Civilization, these memes are just as funny. There's not too much you won't be able to understand without a high school APUSH class background, so they're history beginner-friendly and always provide some funny and even dark entertainment. Here are some of our favorite history memes created in the last week.
