We all shit on the Germans for being the first to use chemical weapons, but the French were actually the first to use it as the front approached Paris. Mustard gas was originally designed as an area denial system, the idea being that it could be launched via artillery into an open field and essentially be a chemical minefield. The inventors were mortified to learn that generals were ordering it to be launched directly at troops.

I can see how ""poorly made meme" and "you made a mistake" may sound similar. I've seen some dog shit memes that are historically accurate, and amazing memes with false information.
