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

He doesn’t need razors.

He doesn’t need tools.

He doesn’t need fucking camping gear or alcohol!

And my mom doesn’t need bath products, mugs, or jewelry.

Anything else that doesn’t cost $500+, please, I’m begging you 😭(@guide writers, not OP)

I do need razors, I do need tools, I do need camping gear, I do need bath products, I do want jewelry.

But what you buy me, will never be what I actually want. We have a family tradition, where we go online as a family, and order stuff we actually want. No need for surprises and pretending to be happy with something you didn't want.

On a similar note, the family christmas dinner is pizza with pre-made tapas/snacks, consumed in PJs while watching netflix. No one's stressed, tired or spending too much time in the kitchen.

Cancer and too many funerals, really does shed a family of fucks to give.

Ordering something gift wrapped for yourself and delivering it to them so they can give it to you and you can act surprised and tell them how thoughtful they are is next level gifting.

  • Poem written by you of favorite memories
  • Collect favorite photos and get then printed into a book
  • Cook them a tasty special meal
  • Take them out to a special favorite restaurant

If you don’t spend $500 or more then you automatically dishonour your family in the eyes of capitalism.

Cheap gifts make Jeff bezos cry. Is that what you want? To make baby Jeff cry?

Tears of joy, maybe. Cheap gifts are part of Amazon's lifeblood. It's certainly not the first place most people think of when seeking out something $500+.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

These are legitimately awesome ideas. Thank you so much! /gen

He don’t use jelly 🎵

Jam. Make some Jam. Everyone needs jam. Put vodka in the jam so it's fancy.

Everyone gets some apple butter and everyone will enjoy it or else!

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm part of everyone! Send me apple butter! (Please)

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I would if the entire batch I just made wasn't already claimed!

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 3 points 1 day ago

You drive a hard bargain, but alright pass it over

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

Bucket style towel warmer for both/either. I can't believe they aren't standard in hotels at this point.

If you can paint -at all- like it doesn’t even have to be that good, paint a flower pot with pictures of old pets who have died over the years, plant something super easy to keep alive, like an aloe or snake plant, and write them something about your shared memories. Include the pics you used for the painting so they can reminisce with you.

This was a big win for me.
