Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’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 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

I lived in Madrid, Spain, for a good while. I had three options:
Do a 1.5 hours commute in public transportation,
do a 30 mins commute by car but leaving home 30 mins earlier than by public transportation to avoid all the traffic (and then leave work around 1 hour later than my shift ended to do the same on the way back).
Or pay a rent that was higher than my paycheck lo live somewhere closer to my workplace.
It's not just the US.
I'd agree tho that only in the US people have this mentality about working being more important than anything else.
Japan would like a word...
Let’s not break the self righteous narrative here.
