HydraHex+FollowThe Battle of Midway: The Day the Pacific Turned Red, White, and Blue ⚓️🔥June 4, 1942. Just six months after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in military history. Outnumbered. Outgunned. Still reeling from heavy losses.

In less than 5 minutes, the tide of the Pacific War shifted—and America took the fight to the enemy. 🇺🇸 Midway wasn’t just a battle. It was a turning point. A message. That no matter how dark things get, we don’t back down.↳ We rise. #Military #History #Midway4047Share

Matthew Stevens+FollowAncient Jawbone Shakes Up Human HistoryA 1.8 million-year-old human jawbone just turned up in Georgia (the country, not the state!), and it might be the oldest evidence of Homo erectus outside Africa.

The team still needs to date it, but if it’s older than the famous Dmanisi fossils nearby, we’re talking about a game-changer for our origin story. Imagine—multiple ancient human groups chilling in the Caucasus! #History #HumanOrigins #Archaeology300Share

mcphersonlaura+FollowPeople were creating cat memes in the 1870s 😂 I can prove itApparently, the Brighton photographer Harry Pointer had a series of cat pictures in the 1870s and 1880s called The Brighton Cats. He started with normal photos of his pet cats resting or drinking milk, but then he started specializing in taking them in all these wild and humorous poses. He would have them mimicking human activities, like a cat acting like a king, one playing the violin, and even one trying to take a photo with a camera. The best part was he would add a written caption or even a greeting like "A Happy New Year" and people would buy the little cards to send to each other. It was all a way for him to make some money off his pets. By 1872, he had created over a hundred different captioned images of cats. By 1884, that number was up to about two hundred. This just proves that people have been obsessed with cats and memes for way longer than we think. 😜 #Cats #History #VintagePhotos #BrightonCats #OldPhotos #Humor #AnimalPhotos #CatMeme #CatLovers #RetroVibes #VintageFinds 370Share
