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

Actually you wouldn't. Dead billionaires generally pass along their money, so one, or more, billionaires would take their place.

Money doesn't get distributed (unless the billionaire wanted this) to those in need.

If there are three crows on a fence and I shoot one dead, there are zero crows left on the fence.

It would get diluted between all parties. With enough rounds, there might not be any billionaires left

We can't really know how long it would take until we try.

Yeah, even if there was no inheritance and the property was taken by the state who would sell it to private entities, that extra money won't necessarily be spent towards those "in need" and will likely instead be spent on army or foreign aid to Israel or some shit - the usual capitalist state stuff

If we get enough force together to wipe out the billionaire donor class in 2 months, I'd be optimistic about our chances to affect how the money gets distributed afterwards. Otherwise, reload and go for round 2.

3 months it is then.

That’s why we need another Titanic like situation where whole families passed and the money went to cousins and distant relations.

If only the titan submersible was bigger. Dont worry, I'm sure there will be a third wreckage at that exact spot at some point.
