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

Oh, don't worry. As someone with a shit parent, I didn't doubt your experience for a second. I was just expanding on it a bit.
But I get why you thought I might have.
IME when you have these kinds of discussions with people who didn't have shit parents or bad experiences, they tend to not get it, make excuses, or minimise what you experienced or are experiencing.
I’ve been learning a lot about covert narcissism and it explains exactly why my life has been in shambles for the past 3 decades and never seems to get better.
Sucks doesn't it? But we're still chugging along, despite carrying that extra weight all these years. That is something to be proud of. Other people might not see or understand that extra weight you're carrying, but you know you're carrying it. You're stronger than other people realise.
I hope you've learnt to be kinder to yourself, forgive yourself, and remember to keep breathing.
For what it's worth, you can have an internet hug from me. I wish you luck.
