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

Are you supposed to nuke the entire thing? The ones I've seen always had a bag inside you take out through a zipper or velcro opening, you nuke the bag and put it back in.
So basically take out the guts, heat them up and put them back in. Yeah no that's worse actually.
It might not even matter if you put the whole thing in with the removable ones, too. Though the one my daughter has would barely even fit in the microwave. But microwaves work by using electromagnetic waves to flip water molecules (or other poled molecules). It can also induct a current on metal objects, which can arc if they have pointy parts.
So a living creature would get pretty fucked up by a microwave, but a stuffy would be fine if it isn't wet and has no metal or free flowing molecules with different charges on different sides (that would flip like water).
And the pouches do contain one of those, but in a way designed to work in a microwave.
Wouldn't it have a zipper at the back to pull out innards
Probably would be a plastic zipper if it had one, I feel like a metal zipper wouldn't be very nice to cuddle with!
How to feel even more like a sociopath.
First I pull out its innards. Sorry buddy.
Yeah, if there's a zipper, it could burn the stuffy from the arcing. My daughter's one just has plastic buttons for its pouch, so it depends on the stuffy.
Always remember one of the first uses for microwaves was heating up frozen hamsters to try and give people immortality.

We have one by the same company who made the sloth. You nuke the whole thing. I was shocked too. I re-read the instructions several times to be sure. It feels so wrong.
