A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

Chinese? I thought it was Danish

I think there are tons of myths in many cultures using mermaids. But AFAIK, the tale is danish.
