A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:
- no NSFW. ever.
- no sexually suggestive matetial
- swearing is fine, but please don't go overboard.
- no sad or depressing content
- no politics or politically-motivated content
- no outrage content or bait
- no AI-generated images. Understandably, some may slip through the cracks, but assume no malicious intent. Are you unsure? Leave it be. Report obvious AI stuff.

Probably because whoever made the meme knows it's used in Europe but not what measuring systems other countries use. I also didn't know what measuring systems other countries used, but know that usually Europeans might use metric. I didn't think hard about it. I saw a meme that did not seem to be misleading and seemed unlikely to offend or cause despair and hopelessness, I decided to post it here. Thanks for the information that I didn't know.
Also, I wouldn't mind having US schools teach metric so we can shift to it, but alas I am not a politician and cannot make a unilateral decision for the whole country. While I can bug them to support such a measure, we unfortunately have bigger fish to fry right now. I'm just trying to post levity to help people get through the day, because that matters too.
It's only bigger because you guys use football fields as units of measurement.
