/r/DankPrecolumbianMemes
The hottest memes of the history of North, Central, and South America from Beringia to Tawantinsuyu!
Rules:
- Content must relate to the Pre-Columbian Period or to the contact period of Native American history.
Posts in this subreddit should in general be about the Pre-Columbian Americas. Contact memes are also welcome, and the time period allowed varies from group to group. The cutoff is not 1492, and many remained uncontacted. Groups contacted in the 1800s or 1600s are allowed to be memed in that time period.
- Follow Reddiquette.
Content in this sub should follow the canonical site-wide Rediquette.
- Minimize modern politics.
Ancient American history has unfortunately often been obscured by belittling colonial narratives that have viewed the pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas as primitive or inferior to the civilizations of Afro-Eurasia. For this reason, it is important not to use them as throwaway examples for our modern political narratives without some thought first. We encourage playful banter, but please do not bring in politics in a harmful way.
- No spam.
No spamming comments or links or soliciting irrelevant products.
- Limit reposting.
Reposts are a constant plague on Reddit and while sometimes it means that more people won't miss quality content, it also means a lot of clutter is made. Please check to make sure non-OC content has not been recently posted already. If it has been a long time since a post has been made and you feel that it is sensible to post it again, please credit the original poster.
- Don't be a dick.
Racism, sexism, etc. is not OK in any situation. Please keep your edginess to a reasonable level.
- No harassing other users.
Targeted harassment of others will not be tolerated at all.
- Don't preach your fringe theories.
Think ancient aliens built Teotihuacan? Think the Olmecs came from West Africa? Think that the lost tribes of Israel are in the Amazon? While we encourage free discussion on these things, it is preferred that you not fill our comments with long pseudo-historical monologues on why mainstream historians are blind to the truth. Make a dank meme about it and we'll have fun with it instead.
- Posts should be memes.
Posts on this sub should be humorous in nature and should generally fall within the broad category of an internet meme.
- No lewd, tasteless, or pornographic content.
Content which is pornographic or intended to be "sexy" will be removed.

Hey, friends!
One of our active community members, u/TeutonicToltec, recently started a Reddit community called r/HistoryPodcastMemes with the intention of uploading memes about niche neat history stuff he learned from podcasts. I find this a very neat idea and want to help him out. So go check it out and consider subscribing and contributing!

February theme is a bit different: We're joining a charity fundraiser, the Dank Charity Alliance!
Hey, friends!
In the last month's contest, we duked it out over our favorite Precolumbian civilizations and it... uh... didn't go well for us Andesbros. Damn, Mesoamerica fans got hands. In first place, we have u/Fantastic_Goat_2959 with a meme about who has the best revolts against colonization. In second, we have u/ThesaurusRex84 acting as a free agent in asserting Mississippian dominance in his post. Finally, we have u/TDLF who in this post asserts that Atahualpa has been seen going to Weenie Hut Junior.
This month we're doing something different: we're joining an annual charity fundraiser, the Dank Charity Alliance, a group of Reddit communities which every year seeks to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a non-profit hospital organization which specializes in treating children with leukemia and other dangerous conditions without charging their family at all by relying on donors for monetary support. The organization provides care at more than 200 member locations around the world and offers support to families who couldn't otherwise afford it. They also put money into cancer research to better medical technology for the future. The Dank Charity Alliance fundraiser will run from February 14 to March 31 (though donations are already open now) with a goal of raising at least $3,000. Both of the past years however, the effort has far surpassed goals, raising $12,152 in 2022 and $25,746 in 2023. It would be neat if this year it could surpass even that second number.
As for the memes, this month let's see your best memes about how indigenous peoples in the Americas have supported each other: ways they gave to those in need or provided medical treatment, etc. History is often reduced to war and conflict but human societies function through members supporting members.
