The /his/ meme refers to the 'History and Humanities' board on 4chan, a community known for its intense, often pedantic debates on world history, philosophy, and religion. Memes originating from or referencing /his/ typically poke fun at the board's specific obsessions—ranging from the Bronze Age collapse and Indo-European migrations to Byzantine politics and obscure philosophical texts. Users often blend historical facts with internet subculture aesthetics, creating memes that celebrate niche historical knowledge while mocking the perceived 'armchair historians' who populate the board. It serves as a hub for intellectual humor that bridges the gap between serious academia and chaotic internet culture.
