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

Scenario A: Maid Marian is born to fox parents. One of their siblings marries King Richard. Richard, being both a king and a lion is allowed to marry whomever the fuck he wants.

Scenario B: Marian is orphaned, and Richard adopts her, and she refers to him as her "uncle" because she was old enough when her parents died that she felt Richard was more of an uncle than a new father to her.

Scenario C: Marian's parents aren't dead, but Richard is such good friends with them that she calls him her uncle purely as a term of affection.

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are other fully plausible configurations.

D, in a world with anthropomorphic animal people cross breeding can lead to recessive generic traits that allow a fox to appear when two lion presenting lion/fox parents have children.

They're thoughtful and open. Sounds like good partner material to me.

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

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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).

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] L3mmyW1nks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Greek maybe

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

That movie is the original furries origin. It can do no wrong.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

robin hood 1973

fritz the cat 1972

perhaps furries of a different generation?

Well, c'mon - Marion was supposed to be hot, ergo she's a "fox" (no relation to Megan).
