Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot 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

Hated going Christmas shopping in the stores. No parking, crowded, having to go to multiple stores looking for things, lines. If you wanted something from a store or other catalog you’d have had to order it several weeks in advance due to shipping and handling times. You were limited to what the stores had generally because there really wasn’t any other way.

People today who didn’t experience the non-online life don’t have a clue how much faster it is to buy things now. I won’t say the variety is a whole lot better, but access to the existing inventory is way better.
