50 Of The Best History-Based Memes, As Shared By This Instagram Account

Now way! When you know all b******t theories some people have on internet about moon landing, I can't imagine what they would be if Armstrong did that!

One of my least favorite things about history is the assumption that no one ever had a sense of humor or did anything for play or was ever an actual person. Like, "We found an object in a grave, and we don't know what it is, but it must have been something really important. Maybe it's a religious tool." And really it's just some s**t like little Tina learned how to make snakes out of clay, and thought mom or dad needed one in the afterlife.

I think it's pretty interesting as is, but I do agree that would have been hilarious... later. In the moment, as we were all on the edges of our seats, it would have been horrifying.

It would have been even more interesting if Armstrong wasn't pretending.

Btw, Collins wrote extensively on his moon voyage. This story is not featured in neither "Carrying the fire" nor in the expanded edition renamed "Flying to the moon", where he goes into details of much more minor stuff than this.

Hi I'm that

BRING BACK ORIGINAL COCA COLA!!! That's how you should say it

Bringing Coke back

Me too. With a little effort.

Omg just came back to BP and noticed ur username changed. Did u get another pet

I sure can’t!

They r just clarifying that he never finished the race and was invited back to FINISH the race he started in 1912. And they counted all that time from the time it started in 1912 to the point in time he finally finished. Hence the 54 years and ........

Yes, because he was still completing the 1912 marathon, it was in 1966 when he went back though.

History is a lie agreed upon - Ambrose Bierce

Unnecessary historical accuracy is my kink.

Depends on which side of history you are on, lol.

Not in that photo

If 84 mins isn’t long I’d hate to hear what is.

Even more proof that Teddy Roosevelt was the most punk rock president ever🤘

I'm sure his audience were relieved he had to be brief!

Agreed! You can even get married for three years before you could legally drink at your own wedding.

Even worse, the United States DRAFTED boys to fight in the Vietnam War before they could buy beer.

Used to be 18 for alcohol, But, 18 years old proved they couldn't handle the responsibility, so I say raise the age for military service to 21 as well

Yes your right but to add on to that people weren’t signing up for this war very much. They were being drafted and forced to go.

Mind boggling is that there are people on the right who want to raise the voting age back to 21 because their backwards regressive ideals aren't popular with younger voters.

Agreed. I'm an American and it makes zero sense.

Sign up? They were forced to either go to war or go to prison. Unless you were rich enough to have your Daddy get you a note that said you had heel spurs, like Trump

That half step into adulthood (ages 18-21) makes no sense whatsoever

Before you can buy cigarettes, legal pot, rent a car, get financial aid for school without a parental signature ...

that's because of mother's against drunk driving. States are allowed to set their own drinking age but were denied federal funding for roads and such if they didn't raise it to 21. it wasn't until the 90s that the last state caved to the pressure.

or smoke tobacco. Just in the last couple years they moved the age to buy tobacco products to 21 as well.

Not just beer, but cigarettes and firearms as well.

alcohol is only for irresponsible people.

You can go to prison and war, vote, get married, but can't buy alcohol or tobacco until you are 21. Ridiculous.

On military bases, which is federal land, the drinking age is 18. - From a vet

They should give them a free beer when they enlist.
