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

Also ... the history of the game monopoly was supposed to be an education to teach people about the terrible idea of 'monopolies' in general
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game)
Everyone thinks of it as cute fun game ... when it reality, we've all been conditioned to think of the idea of monopolies as a benign thing in society that isn't a problem.
Nobody thinks it’s fun.
Wow that game is so infuriating. Anyhow back to work.
I don’t know anyone who thinks of monopolies as a good or benign thing, they’re usually brought up in the context of the harm they’re causing (ISPs, sysco) or as something to avoid in the case of a pending merger/acquisition
It was ~~made~~ (edit;: manufactured) by the same company that made Ouija boards.
No the original "monopoly" was known as Landlord's Game which was the educational game. If anything it would be a better statement to say the company that made the ouiji board also copy/stole the game Landlord to make Monopoly. This company being Hasbro.
Fuck Hasbro
