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

I'm gonna be chaotic and say that I have no preference unless any are felt tip. I don't want those.

They are good for certain things, but they are atrocious as a general purpose pen.

Thanks for the additional perspective. What's their best use case?

Really useful when doing artwork because you can angle and bend the thickness really well.

Okay, that tracks. Thanks for the art lesson!

I like them when I need to write on corrugated cardboard. Better than ball points anyway. Don't need as much pressure to write so I'm not accidentally poking through the cardboard.

That's all that comes to mind. I just assume there are other use cases.

Fair enough, but if I have to write on cardboard, I'll probably use a giant felt tip like a sharpie.
