It's like saying there was no such thing as PTSD back in world war 1. The men crying and shaking and staring lifelessly at nothing were simply cowards.

- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

before ptsd shellshock was recognized in ww1
Millennial here. When I started elementary school in '89, my school had a separate office for the special needs teachers, which had a small "timeout room" built into the back corner of it. It had a reinforced window on the door and a light inside the room, but that was it. The room was maybe 5'x5' wide.
Every time a kid started losing their mind and getting physical, they got locked in the timeout room until they calmed down.
It wasn't soundproof, so walking down the hall, you'd occasionally hear the most insane shrieking and banging coming from that room.
They used that room for anyone who got violent and physical, not just special needs kids. There was a bully in my grade who liked to pick fights with everyone, including the teachers.
I've watched as several teachers pinned him down and tied him up, then carried him to the timeout room and left him there, screaming at the top of his lungs, until he tired himself out.
They used that room for anyone who got violent and physical, not just special needs kids.
I mean, at least they were consistent.
My schools lowerschool timeout room in 2004 didn't have padding on the lylonium floor and the wall padding wasn't high enough, just gym mats bolted to the wall. The upperscool was just hard carpet on the entire floor walls and door. Needless to say I prob have brain damage from trying to get them to let me out, especially since in lowerscool they stopped putting their hand under my head since it hurt em too much.
