It's a universal truth that a school subject is as interesting as its teacher or the materials they provide. Take history, for example. Memorizing dead people's names, distant places, and so many dates; at the wrong hands, it can become quite boring.
But at the right ones, it becomes a valuable tool, showing how past societies, systems, ideologies, governments, cultures, and technologies were built, how they operated, and how they have changed. Not only does this knowledge make people more rounded, but it also inspires and accelerates one's critical thinking, a skill that transfers to every intellectual pursuit.
Plus, it can also be fun! We at Bored Panda expanded on our earlier list and put together a new collection of the best history memes on the internet.

It also gave them an advantage over competitors who had plain white bags.
Howard Zinn, an American historian, playwright, philosopher, and socialist thinker, said he started studying the subject with one view in mind: to look for answers to the issues and problems he saw in the world about him. "By the time I went to college I had worked in a shipyard, had been in the Air Force, had been in a war. I came to history asking questions about war and peace, about wealth and poverty, about racial division," he explained.
Zinn saw the thrilling, entertaining side of history even without the memes. "There's a certain interest in inspecting the past and it can be fun, sort of like a detective story," he said. "I can make an argument for knowledge for its own sake as something that can add to your life. But while that's good, it is small in relation to the very large objective of trying to understand and do something about the issues that face us in the world today."
"Students should be encouraged to go into history in order to come out of it, and should be discouraged from going into history and getting lost in it, as some historians do."

Well focusing on a woman's sexuality as a way to undermine her legitimacy or achievements is common. Catherine the Great gets the same treatment. Elizabeth I has a whole chunk of the New World named after her not getting laid. And this is only the women who can't be effectively erased from the "Great Man" version of history. Thank god for gender, Queer, disability and minority studies for pushing to include historical actors who aren't white men in history and for revealing some of the most fascinating narratives out there.
Ozacoter 4 years ago
Exactly. Its like the outdated ideas that a lot of people still have about the stone age. Thanks to modern feminist researchers we have realised now that not only women had a lot of power then (shamans, artisans, artists, huntresses..) but that traditional paleontology and archeology were extremely biased towards men. To put an example if a skeleton was found with hunting tools or weapons it was often deemed masculine even if it wasnt sexed properly. Nowadays we know that a lot of those skeletons were from women.

100%. Actual historians usually dedicate a portion of their class to the discussion of how the Romans used that depiction to discredit her because our sources were almost universally 1. Misogynist 2.

Actually within academia it has changed. There is a lot of shift towards telling women's LGBTQ and other minority stories and studying them seriously. The problem is the material rarely gets transmitted outside of academic circles, though there are groups doing podcasts and other outreach trying to change it. And students in many universities are also pushing to decolonize ( move from just focusing on white men) lessons which is great, but gets a lot of push back from conservatives.

Dog History Memes Are Undefeated

Hmmmmmm most <——key word dogs are brought delicious food twice daily )sometimes more often), get to walk and play daily, get free medical care, get to ride shot gun in a vehicle. Wolves get kicked in the face while hunting, or are gored by their dinner, after running then down for miles often don’t get enough calories to replace the ones used, there is ALWAYS a fight at dinner, and usually a distant relative hanging out with a two legged armed dude while will kill you before you had a first birthday. Winters are bitterly cold, summers sweltering hot and someone is bemoaning a dogs life…get real
BastWren 4 years ago
You make a good point, Mazer. The real atrocity, I think, when it comes to where dogs are now relative to where they were (wolves) before they first approached man concerns all the modifications and inbreeding that has been done, e.g., longer or shorter snouts (shorter often leading to breathing difficulties), length of legs, etc., to make them more attractive to/easier for humans. Just like tail and ear docking, it is, imo, wrong and should never have happened. Well, it is still happening isn't it?

However, as the moderator pointed out, one has to remain careful when "consuming" history. "The sheer amount of stuff we hear about from media (movies, books, video games, etc.) is just wrong or very much misinterpreted," u/TheDelta added.
"Things like German tanks being the best of WW2 and how they had such a mechanized army, how the 'vomitorium' used by the Romans was a place for them to vomit so they can eat more peacock brain and hummingbird wing, etc. I guess I'd say we really want to encourage fact-checking and people looking critically at this history you're told by people with little to no actual credentials."

I'm curious about the usage of the term "Caucasian". I assumed it referred to the Northern European type of 'native', as in: pale skin, often light eyes, often light hair. Since that's what I usually encounter when that description comes up in media and movies from America. Now I googled it, and it turns out that apparently that term also applies to North African and Middle Eastern types of people? And West Asians, too? So basically, anyone Not Black or Not Very Asian? So... why, then, is it that in movies, they make a distinction between Hispanics - who look nearly indistinguishable from Spanish, Portuguese or Middle Eastern people - are NOT referred to as Caucasian? Especially in crime-shows? How would any witness see the difference between someone from Spain to someone from Puerto Rico? Isn't that all the more proof that race-theory is complete and utter bullshit and should not be followed anymore??!! Just say "looked European" or "had black hair and dark skin" instead of labelling

Practically everyone involved with filming that movie died of Cancer. It was filmed in St. George, Utah where there had been a great deal of nuclear testing. We weren't yet fully aware of the danger of radiation exposure.

Has some of the funniest lines ever spoken in a movie. BTW, did you know a majority of the actors in this film died of cancer? "Years later, as cast and crew members started getting cancer, the connection was made back to The Conqueror set. Powell died in 1963 from lymphoma. Hayward passed away in 1975 from brain cancer. Wayne passed way in 1979 from stomach cancer, though he theorized it was due to his long term smoking habits. Pedro Armendáriz took his own life when he was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer. Lee Van Cleef passed away from throat cancer. Out of a cast and crew of 220, 91 had contracted cancer, and 46 had passed away as a result of lung cancer, throat cancer and other forms of cancer."https://www.wideopencountry.com/how-did-john-wayne-die/

True. The Angels in the bible were described as being, well, all over the shop. A mish-mash of animals here, some gold wheels there (Yes, interlocking gold wheels, plus eyes?).

I think they were likely describing shamanic visions - I encountered some startling looking beings when I drank ayahuasca & I’ve since read about other peoples experiences meeting & interacting with angels/elves/aliens/faeries in altered states (states not only brought about by the various plant medicines but also deep meditation, rhythmic dancing & even yoga!)…it was the wheels & thousands of eyes that convinced me - honestly, it really wasn’t as terrifying as it sounds now that I’m typing it out!

To save his a** he promise to destroy the newly install République. And so happened "le siège de Paris" with the help of the German crown. Not a the civil war but an insurrection .

I live in the USA and i am a manager of a plasma donation center. We don't pay you for you plasma we pay for your time. There is such a negative miss conception about donating plasma especially when the collected plasma goes to help so many people. Our donors go through an extensive vetting process before being able to donate. And we are able to make a large number of medications that save a lot of lives. Lives that could've potentially be lost if it were not for our donors.

Wales is still being screwed over. Like right now. Good example is transport. You know that Wales has zero control over its own transport network and infrastructure? Westminster controls it. Wales wants to reopen an old rail line through Ceredigion - to bring much needed jobs and tourism money to the poorest county in the whole of the UK, connecting three universities and make farm produce easier to transport too. It's completely feasible and will bring in lots more tax money to Westminster in the long run than it would cost to build. It's looking quite likely to be rejected, wth some reports out of Westminster being that Wales doesn't pay its fair share so they shouldn't be asking for things without giving more to Westminster first, despite that this rail line would bring them that and more.

John Rochester 4 years ago
You need to read some history books. The only reason Scotland didn't have an empire was because they were totally incompetent. See Darien Scheme, an attempt to colonise South America that went so badly wrong it bankrupt a whole country, forced the Scots to ask the English to wipe their debts and then made THEM decide to join a union with England so they could benefit from the English colonies. I feel like most Scottish people don't know their own history but want to blame everyone else for their own ineptitude.

"Will You Update Your Portrait, Caesar?" "No, I Don't Think I Will"
Hugh Willie Mungous 4 years ago
Once the emperor's image was established (on the coinage - on civic statuary) there was little point in changing it. It wasn't a matter of vanity - rather it was a means of communicating consistently with a largely illiterate population. P.S. it is unlikely that any emperor ever wore a checked shirt.
Jon S. 4 years ago
There is an interesting period in the 1800s when photographs were just becoming a thing and it was the fashion for royals to have them done that kings were suddenly left with a choice about updating their coins to track their age. They couldn't rely on the fact commoner would never see their real face anymore. In the end, most chose to start updating their coins to keep up with the reproductions of their photographs.

all of you can shut your ugly traps you kadokheses. As none of your are Jews, you have 0 right to tell us that Israel has no right to exist in its current location as a Jewish state. I am going to get downvoted, but who was there first? us! then our land was stolen for 2000 years while people murdered us and destroyed our culture and culled our children. we needed a safe place, we needed our home back, so we moved there. we have been trying to make peace, but it's hard when there are terrorist organizations making up a sizable and loud minority trying to kill your citizens. we just want good and to get our homeland back.

I agree with a paper I read once that posited that dogs were the smartest animal because they recognized that humans were something they should hitch their wagon to and enjoy the ride.
