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

My theory is that not many people at all ever actually thought art NFTs had value beyond something to gamble on. But the idea that they did was used to create the plausible impression that there were a lot of "greater fools" out there who would buy the bags of said gamblers, and this idea was also attractive to people who despised the whole thing and like the idea of stupid people to look down on, so both groups collaborated to signal boost it.
