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

I’d assume that’s a yes nod. They are a remarkable companion.
To my knowledge, typically in English literature a "nod" means yes, and a "shake" of the head means no. I know there's at least one language where the converse is true, but I can't remember for which language I discovered that to be the case.
Slovakian iirc
Yes, I believe that's the one I read of a whole back. Thank you for filling the gap in my aging brain (for how long, I can't say).
No, not Slovakia. Bulgaria and parts of Albania.
I know a lot of Indians kinda shake/bobble for yes.
Which in my culture means maybe.
Greek maybe
only area i am confident of is bulgaria. my mother was in slovenia and says that they did the nods are no and shaking head is yes there, but she was not paying the closest attention where she was let us be honest she was not driving
