The origins of the Italian Mafia. Just kidding.
Makes me wonder how many virgin birth stories are just cover ups for not being a virgin.
…probably all of them. Looking at you Mary, mother of Jesus.
Guy, you did it wrong. It’s Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop. Oh, no, that’s how Ruff Ryders roll.
Okay, Chase. Explain why Musk getting a hair transplant and depending on stock prices, is richer than Jeff.
How did you read my mind about the Great Schism of 1054?! Yes, that is the one I was thinking about and I should’ve looked for the most popular one initially but I am working/procrastinating right now.
Also I just want to say I appreciate this community you built and these interesting post.
I had to look up why there were two empires. I took a guess and thought it had something to do with a split of the Catholic Church. I was about a thousand years off.
In 286 CE, Emperor Diocletian decided to divide Rome into two sections to try and stabilize the empire. For a hundred years Rome experienced even more divisions until the empire was finally divided in 395 CE and became the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire.
This division changed Roman life and government forever. There were now two emperors in each empire, and they governed independently. The capital of the Western Empire was Rome, and the capital of the Eastern Empire was Constantinople. Following this split, the Eastern Empire thrived. Constantinople was well-protected because it was on a peninsula that could be easily defended. It was also located on the frontiers of the empire allowing imperial armies to respond more easily to external attacks and threats.
As for the split of the Catholic Church, it happened in 1378:
The Western Great Schism began on September 20, 1378 with the election of Clement VII in Avignon, France. He was the second pope elected by the same college of cardinals in six months, and for the first time in history there were two “legitimate” claimants to be head of the church in Rome.

Please note: I just search for these events and have no idea how accurate these websites are. “Christian History for Everyman” sounds a little sketchy…
Yeah… it took me a while. I think the artist could have made the window mostly opened. Adding a depth of thickness to the wall would’ve helped too.
I initially thought he was looking at another picture drawn by his son and realized his son always draws him ugly while drawing everything else perfectly.
The 90s history books made it seem like the Japanese concentration camps were a temporary vacation. Once everything was cleared up, they would be able to go home.
What they didn’t mention was the conditions on the camps were horrible. They didn’t include the propaganda against Japanese Americans. When the Japanese Americans went home, their homes and business were often destroyed. Trying to live like normal Americans was basically impossible by the amount of racism they received. Land of the free I guess.
I find this so interesting. In the US history books in the 90s, it basically says the US was main reason why the Allies won.
The books basically ignore when we joined in the war, how many people died, and made it seem like we were the only ones able to take down the Nazis. And Blowing up not 1 but 2 cities in Japan was justified because less Allies soldiers died.

Out of the package, after the 5 seconds, it morphs in to regret. Then it gets worse everytime you look at it.
I love this style of memes. The characters made it easy to categorize them by just looking at the thumbnail.
The tricking should be coming down directly below the owner of the pipe.
I put a bird feeder up because birds eat insects that destroy some plants. It was a very successful squirrel feeder.
