knowledge

It's important that we know history, so that when it repeats itself we can all stand there and go "told you so" as we're being led in shackles as the new manservant to the Godking of the New Empire of Delaware. So here are the history memes for the enlightened lords of time. Feed those hungry brains with semi-relevant knowledge through easy-to-read history memes.

We can always count on the wonderful and wandering minds of the Tumblr world to shine some light on new topics that people might otherwise be unknowingly holding misconceptions about. Clearly, this Tumblr thread is trying to break down the assumptions that are being held about chickens and eggs, and local farming in general. Always interesting to hear different sides of the story. Check out some more tweets and gems to make the day more tolerable over here.

You probably wouldn't go ahead and draw the assumption that the yarn community is filled to the brim with fascinating controversies. For instance, the whole faking deaths theme runs prominent within the community. On top of that, there's even a bit about setting babies on fire. Um, like what? Hold up.

There's nothing like throwing on a great movie and just stepping outside the otherwise constant stream of thoughts that occupy your daily existence. Instead, you can check out for awhile and get lost in the lives of the characters onscreen. Sometimes though, it can be tough to follow what's going on if you literally can't make out what's taking place on the screen. This quick Tumblr post does an effective job at pointing that out with Game of Thrones as an example. If you're looking for some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about an Ultima Online player that unleashed a nuclear revenge as a tavern owner.

There's nothing like happening upon a helpful loophole that just manages to make your life a bit easier. Some loopholes also hit different than others.

One of the biggest problems that have arisen from the herbal medicine movement is that numerous people end up integrating herbal medicines into their daily regimen without doing the necessary research. As it turns out certain herbs can really mess with people's medications and natural bodily functions. The line between effectiveness and danger is very thin when it comes to properly consuming various herbal medicines. Check out some more random Tumblr gems to hack through with a machete over here. 

Life is inherently dangerous. We pretty much forget that we're living on the cusp of chaos every moment. Disaster can strike out of nowhere, and completely turn our worlds upside down. So, it always helps to have some knowledge from the world's survival experts in the back pocket for the next time that life decides to chuck a big and ugly curveball your way. 

Ever meet someone, think their cool, and then discover that they have absolutely no understanding of what events and circumstances have shaped the world that they live in? What a shame. Sure, ignorance is bliss, but knowing where potatoes come from and why wars happen gives us the unyielding burden of our own context. Also knowing references lets us enjoy history memes for the historically inclined.

Apparently there's something funny that happens to our brains and the specific brainwaves that they produce when they're in a warm shower for a while. Basically, a creative and ponderous state can spawn. In this state, the shower thoughts can really flow. You very well might find yourself cracking the code to some strange facet of life in such a way that you never would have otherwise. Check out some more shower thoughts that dispense insightful wisdom over here. 

It doesn't matter how long you've been on this planet or how much you know, smart people still do stupid things. Even the concept of "smartness" is variable. Anyone might know everything there is to know about brain surgery but might not know that it's stupid to put metal in the microwave. Some of us were just sick the day we learned that snow is made out of water, only to have that fact make us look like complete smooth-brains a decade later. There are too many obvious things people realize way too late.

Many of us are innocently susceptible toward forgetting names of the very people that we just met. Oftentimes this awkward moment of forgetfulness can occur when you meet someone who has been nothing short of a genuinely nice human being. From there, the descent is rapid into cringeland, where you have to ask them to remind you of their name. The only hope is that they don't take the whole matter personally. Names are hard, man. Maybe this thread that includes people's clever ways of remembering names will serve to help you sidestep he next potentially awkward conversation. 

It's a lovely AskReddit thread like the one we have here that can spare many of the dudes out there all kinds of stumbling around, when it comes to having to gain wisdom through experiences and failures. Maybe some of these will actually help you out in life. For a bit of a twist on the traditional life hacks, check out some bad life pro tips that can really jack up one's game over here. 

When we're younger, we never think of ourselves as future old people. When you're 19, sleeping two hours a night and being an idiot, it's extremely hard to imagine yourself as someone with back pain and a lawn that these DAMN KIDS WON'T STOP PLAYING ON. It can happen suddenly. Most people can point to the moment they realized they were old. At least as people age they get to pride themselves on knowing things young people wouldn't get.

There's something innately satisfying about seeing some pure ignorance come face to face with its rightful comeuppance. In this case, we have a dude get nothing short of a proper schooling on just how car safety and physics works. Suffice to say, it's immensely satisfying. For some more gold from the world of Tumblr, check out this post about a guy's dentist who is giving off intense real life superhero vibes. 

We really hope that this is true. You can never really be totally certain if what's being shared by Tumblr's wonderful and wandering minds is actually rooted in truth, or a mere impressive work of fiction. With that being said, Dr. Z sounds like he's undeniably the world's best dentist and a bit of a heroic polymath as well. Like, just imagine having a pint with this guy over some good old-fashioned bar trivia. He'd probably put on such a stellar performance that he'd be promptly asked to never return. Too much knowledge can definitely rub some people the wrong way. If you want some more gold from Tumblr, check out these resplendent Tumblr gems of random hilarity.
