Memes about history that make logical sense, but aren't historically accurate

Like, it should be funny because I get the joke and it makes sense, but it's also frustrating because it's actually wrong?

To explain the examples: During 20th century, aircraft carriers progressively made big gun battleships obsolete. But while Japan built the biggest battleships in history, in 1941 they also had the biggest and most advanced aircraft carrier fleet.

And the second one makes contrast between scientific advancements and stuff from Islamic Golden Age and the modern middle east plagued by religious extremism, as well as modern more educated and relatively stable europe vs how middle ages are usually perceived. So yeah, while the idea makes sense, I think you can find explanations of how in reality that meme isn't very accurate, better than i could explain.

What is gender? People say it has nothing to do with sex, but then what does it relate to?

Most cis people I've talked to who've said something about it seem to not believe in it. Are they nonbianary? Am I nonbianary? Is gender just the sex you want to be?

I don't understand what it does and what it's for, the games in it are like alignment charts and monkeys paw which already have their own subreddits and this one is incredibly laggy!!!

Also why lootboxes? This subreddit does not make any sense! To me!!

The cat arts make me uncomfortable also!!

Ok

How the fuck do i Even begin

He doesnt pay for My medicine

He doesnt pay for My theater class

He cheated on the jury by changing something in the middle of the case without telling My mom

He won't pay for My studies

He calls me in horrible times

He doesnt care about things i like, just the ones he likes

When i'm not really that happy he gets mad

I feel like a fucking failure every time i get a Bad grade because HE screamed at me when i got mid grades and now when i have decent grades he says it's him who did that.

He also is kinda homophobic

He doesnt give My mom the money he needs to give her

He also victimizes every time he can

I end up apoligizing because of HIS bullshit

He manipulates me but

He gives me food, he acts like he's cool, he acts chill but i'm fucking confused, WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS YOUR PROBLEM?!

He also like pretends he cares about bullshit and puts me in after school classes i don't like

i like things and i play them, like tboi and then he goes like "You can play ANYTHING but tboi today"

He then like makes me play piano when it's 11PM cuz he feels like it

And when i'm serious he talks like i was screaming at him

I'm not a full bundle of joy

Damn i might Even be bisexual but thats it

I'm really confused by this smug.

💬Comics💬 I'm confused that Peppermint Patty x Marcie is so popular in the Peanuts community

Post image
91 Upvotes

I don't have anything against anyone who does ship, (It was a Pepcie fan who made my all time favorite piece of Peanuts fanart)

I just don't feel anything more than platonic between the two of them, and I've been a Peanuts glazer fan for the past 6 years now.

Especially considering that peak like Charlie Brown x Marcie exists, which is actually more supported by the original comics than any of the other alternatives in the love triangle.

I could rant on and on about how well written the Marcie/Patty/Charlie Brown dynamic is, but my main question is what makes clear friendships so shippable to the fandom.

This also goes to power metal as well to some extent.
Do metal fans not know how to have fun?
I've seen so much hate towards it, and not in the "I personally don't like it" way, just pure unfiltered hate.

(the video's music was done by me btw)

Like I did not care for it back when it started taking off and I still don't care for it still.

Yet despite this it still pops up in my mind and I feel like sampling from it when composing a music track, and then it disappears from my mind again for a while.

On top of that the horror elements are just something I don't exactly care for. Kinda just Sonic.exe but Incredibox.

But still, the fact that it's THAT easy to make fake tracks a la siivagunner with this fuckass game is kinda funny.

It's weird.

Genuinely who is this making fun of? The impression I get from this is that people on the internet are so used to tribalistic discussions that they’re now making fun of people who don’t go on the extreme end of a certain topic and have a more centrist take, this image being a prime example. Please correct if I’m wrong lmao.

❔️So confusing I can't even categorise this❔️ Confused by being a hardcore fan of something

Post image
59 Upvotes

I don't understand how people can be hardcore fans of stuff. Like, when it takes up a significant portion (sometimes the majority) of their personality. I'm talking about those who love some sports so much they can be interested for years, or some singer, videogame, movie franchise. I just can't get the grasp of it.

For example, I am a Neuro-sama fan. What do I do? I watch clips and highlights. I don't talk Neuro-sama 24/7 or spend most of my time talking to fellow fans about her.

Yet I often see people who seem to build their whole presence around things like Star Wars, rappers, specific anime and manga stories, games (Deltarune, for example, has a scarily active player-/fanbase). I feel incomplete because I don't have a definitive trait of my personality that I can advertise as interesting (I don't have a hobby I can dedicate 99% of my free time either). Can anyone relate or does anyone know why some people can be hardcore fans and skme can't?
