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

This universe is not moving towards a resemblance of the one in Star Trek. We are too corrupt, too many of us are poisoned with greed and selfishness, outweighing the ones with good intent to achieve greatness and progress. The tree of humanity is rotting and nobody is cutting away the diseased parts. We will remain ugly until we're extinct, or we will heal and flourish again.

IIRC, Star Trek had WW3 before their utopian society emerged.

that and many other periods of severe unrest, the whole point of the show is that humanity overcame it, not that they magically stopped being shitty.

I don't think it will end until someone figures out how to edit greed out of the human genome.

it's not a genetical thing, it's the capitalist "culture"

I'm not sure I'd go that far. Autists famously don't care bout money

autistic people have some trouble with following unreasonable, illogical rules
