Most of us have a love-hate relationship with history.

It can be fascinating at times, or it can be incredibly annoying. But with how we’re so used to instant gratification, we don’t take the time to learn.

All we do is scroll through memes on the toilet. They’re quick and fun. Everything history is not. What if we could combine those two? Well, someone already had that idea. Introducing… @MemesOnHistory.

This is probably the easiest way to learn history nowadays.

They have been going viral on Imgur. I’m still not sure if that means people are learning history or just reading them for a laugh.

If only our schools used these methods to teach. I am confident that nobody would ever miss a single class. Wouldn’t it be much more exciting for teachers too.?

I don’t know about all of you, but I certainly know a lot about history now. Just don’t question me, and everything will be okay.
