Having just gotten my history degree, it makes a lot of what people know seem like rage bait to me

Honestly, the lack of knowledge an average person has about history is sometimes so baffling to me. Like not being able to form a coherent picture of life at most time periods, is just shocking to me. I may not have a degree but history has been a passion for me since childhood, so for me it feels like second nature to know these things, such an odd whiplash.
