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.

There's something about cursed foods that are really hard to look at. Maybe the sloppiness of it all just feels violent. Maybe the thought of a Lego and mayonnaise sandwich sliding down our throats is too much to think about. Misplaced and cursed food is just uncomfortable. For some extra intrigue, here's a twitter thread about a guy opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee.

As highly impressionable people, we can't help but see the personality in inanimate objects. Whether it's a rock that looks like goblin, a stop sign that looks really surprised, or just a nonplussed lemon, there's no way we can't see faces in random things. And it's not just limited to faces. There are characters, logos, and whole flippin' dragons just hanging out as inanimate objects that look like other stuff.

An HOA or Homeowner's Association can either be a minor inconvenience or it can be costly dictatorship, depending on who's on the board. People have to deal with nightmare HOAs where they get fined for having visible garbage bins.Some people defeated the Queen Karen of their own HOA. And others just looked forloopholes in the HOA's monthly fees. The bureaucracy never ends.

There's a stereotype about American tourists being obnoxious. It's easy to picture us waddling around, touching artifacts and complaining about "how run down this ancient castle looks." Lucky for us, sort of, a few other big and rich countries are also known for having horribly entitled tourists. Of course it's bad that there's more entitlement in the world, but it's at least better to not be the only ones that everyone completely disdains. But here are some really dumb and obnoxious things American tourists said and did. And here are some dumb complaints people had for their travel agency as well as some weird habits in the U.S.

For the most part we're all bored, boring people. And as turgid lumps of wasted space, we need some funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later. That way we can trick other boring people into wanting to be near us for some amount of time. Were we always this repulsive and dull? Honestly it's hard to remember. But what is easy to remember are tumblr gems and funny tweets to cackle at.

Maybe it's the state of public schools. Maybe it's parenting. Maybe no one cares. Maybe reading books is just lame. Either way, we see a whole lot of spelling fails out there that don't need to be out there. No one wants to be a stickler about this kind of thing, but when you see your third person of the day say talk about how they're taking things for granite and asking you to be more pacific, it wears you down. Here are some more regrettable and dumb spelling fails.

If anyone needed some tips on becoming wealthier, healthier and happier, then here are some ideas. They're not good ideas, but they are definitely a type of ideas. Sure, these bad life pro tips might jack up your game instead of doing any benefit for anyone involved, but at least you can say you "tried." Here are moredumb and bad life pro tips to not do.

It's okay to completely lack a sense of humor as long as you don't suck up the fun for anyone else. These clueless people who missed the joke by miles have a way of making these jokes as funny as the three stooges rotting away in an old folks home, every day forgetting bigger pieces of who they are. So thanks guys. Thanks for taking everything completely literally, youfun-stealing dullards who didn't get the joke.

We shouldn't stress ourselves out by trying to sound brilliant all the time, but we also need to understand the dangers of not thinking about anything we say. Because people say some really dumb things. Every day, we reveal our mind-blowing ignorance by asking if cows lay eggs and expressing genuine concern that the island of Alaska will tip over. So be smart about it or else you too will join the ranks of the dumbest things people have ever heard. Don't become the source of someone else's facepalm moments.

The rigidness of life's rules can make things harder than they have to be. And sometimes when life forces our hand, we must make stupid loopholes. It happens all the time, like this dad's basketball loophole or this grandpa's three dimensional mailbox loophole or this kid who made a mockery of a robotics competition with his dry ice loophole. We must pat ourselves on the back for every dumb loophole we employ, because man, stupid loopholes make us feel smart.

When the average person sees an exquisitely painted image of Red Skelton being accepted into clown heaven, the first thoughts one might have will likely be something along the lines of "Huh, I didn't know clowns had souls" or "why does that one bear such a striking resemblance to John Wayne Gacy?" But some of us, a very select few, might think "finally I have something to replace the cross above my bed." Hey man, everyone has their thing, and that's where we get skillful creations of absurd taste.

Bukowski is one of those authors who's really appealing to college freshman who are hellbent on being miserable. He's got that Holden Caulfield streak, where if you're not in the right mood for the kind of stuff he's slinging you can't help but go "okay man, we get it, holy crap." Even a fan of Bukowski would admit that his view of relationships wasn't exactly what one would call "healthy." Granted the guy who wrote a book called "Notes of A Dirty Old Man" probably isn't out to appeal to young female readers anyway, it's always funny to see his writing reflected on by someone who has enough sense to try not being sad. Melissa Turkington quickly found out that she bought a used Bukowski book with just a hint of added flavor.

There are a few reasons students become legendary. Sometimes it was a prank or wild thing that that student did and got away with. Sometimes it was a moment of defiance against some stupid school rule. Some of these are memorable because they're straight up dumb, but you be the judge. No one heard from us that it's a good idea to hide 30 open jars of mayo in the vents before leaving for summer. For some extra shenanigans, here are some mad lads who made the world their big briny oyster.

Mary Robinette Kowal gets into the nitty gritty of space defecation and how "there's no good way for women to pee in space" was never a completely satisfactory answer for a lack of women in space, at least from the engineering side of things. Turns out, the ideas we had for going to the bathroom in space in general were... lackluster. To rely on the old saying, why is it we could put a man on the moon but we couldn't come up with a half decent way to get people a bathroom in space without having to sit in it?
