I'm a huge history nerd, so naturally, half my Twitter feed is memes about history. I figured that since I find them funny, it'd be nice to share a few tweets with the peasant masses (you)!
And since I didn't write these tweets (I wish I had), feel free to give a follow to anyone who made you laugh.Β
