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 tried twinkies because of zombieland.
Major disappointment.
A lot of the US stuff really is an acquired taste. If you didn't grow up with it, there's a fair chance it won't work for you.
They've slightly changed the formula of twinkies something like 10 times. Each time the changes are small buy over 10 times, it builds up to something very different. I will say, deep fried twinkies are surprisingly good, still.
Cuts both ways, leaving the US a lot of the treats we find disappointing.
Twinkies were never great, but Twinkies of the 80's/90's were cake-ier and fluffier. HFCS, palm oil, overwhipping with air, and ever shrinking sizes have made our treats of old rather disappointing even to us.
exception: SHOUT OUT CANADA! Your snack cakes are absoltely rockstar and not even by just snack cake standards. Vachon is the GOAT
