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. (:

Tabelog was such a great resource when I visited Japan! It took a minute to adjust to a normal rating scale instead of “anything less than 4.5 stars is bad” but once I did it was great. I noticed less obsession with portion size on Tabelog too, which I really appreciated. I’m not usually eating out to save money, I want to know if the food is good!

Hmm, I don't normally find reviews are focused on portion size. Would I be right in guessing this is a US thing?

Yup, specifically a small town USA thing. There’s a contingent of people that expect every restaurant meal to be too large to eat in one sitting - if you’re not taking home leftovers it’s not enough food. “Huge portions” is common praise in restaurant reviews. I hate it so much.

Here’s a review of a sushi restaurant in my town. Not a word about the quality of the food.
