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

So much focus in the comments on the billionaires, and so little outrage about the frequency of school shootings.
I mean, fuck neo-liberal trickle-down economics. But also fuck gun culture.
Get rid of capitalism and you’ll get rid of school shootings. Inequality and alienation are the root causes of many of our problems today.
It’s sheer exhaustion. Both over the fact that it happens so much and the fact that our hands are tied by the reich wing gun nuts and their ideology that would rather have kids die than do anything about it other than put more guns in schools. So if you can’t beat the problem, redirecting it to something hypothetically beneficial with some dark humor is what we end up doing.
What if I told you we could solve all those problems by making them a tiny bit worse first, jist for two months, and then, in turn, preventing them from even worse in the future?
