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

Motherfucking cantaloupe. I'm mildly allergic to all melons, but I only avoid cantaloupe. Stupid orange rectangles that infest every fruit salad. And the name itself sounds like something inquisitors would yell as they dragged you out of you hovel for knowing too much about herbs.

Why do people keep growing those awful, inflamed-testicle-looking pieces of shit? Even taking the people that punch holes in the side and fuck them into account, I can't imagine the demand is that high.

Sick to death of every fruit cup in stores and restaurants being 75% composed of that feet-smelling bitch-melon.

If you could pick it out and it didnt make every other fruit within a 10 mile radius taste like cantaloupe I wouldn't mind it in the fruit salads so much

In Australia they are called Rockmelon, because, you know... Also they can be very bland or delicious, especially if you get one from a small fruit & veg shop rather than supermarket where they are picking shit way too early so it lasts longer on the shelf.

Yeah it's entirely possible I've only had the weird soviet-style grocery ones that are like cutting through a block of ice and only have ballistic uses.

I love canteloupe! The smell, the colour, the texture, the taste... it's all good to me

Only on Lemmy do you get downvoted for liking cantaloupe. What’s up with that KuroiKaze@lemmy.world?

[–] groucho@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 day ago

That's fair. I don't understand it but it's fair.

Reminded me of This. I fully agree with you and the video.
