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

Didn’t they lose in an overwhelmingly life altering way?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They had a bad crash yes. But they inspired everyone

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Too a few years, but here:

Evolution

The team returned to the Olympics at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France, and finished 25th.[6][7] They qualified for the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Critics were stunned when they finished in 14th place, ahead of the United States, Russia, Australia, and France.[8]

At the 2000 World Push in Monaco, the team won the gold medal.[9]

At the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, the 2-man team of Winston Watts (pilot) and Lascelles Brown (brakeman) set the Park City bobsled track record and the Olympic record for the push-start segment of the 2-man race at 4.78 seconds. Jamaica failed to qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. The two-man bobsled team qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.[2]

I was around in the 90s and I don't recognize it but if Will Ferrel is saying it then I believe it.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I don't hate a remake with Will Ferrel as the coach.

As long as they keep the original movie available

Not really into sports. I pretty much only watch the first half of Air Bud.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Not being into sports is one thing, but not being into John Candy movies is inexcusable.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 9 points 2 days ago

I despise watching sports (sorry) but Cool Runnings was fkn awesome.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

All the better, you're like me and you have to watch Cool Runnings.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Next you're gonna tell us you never watched Brink

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Don't think I've heard of Brink.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup. Watched that one many of times.

I'm with you. I only heard about the failed game by that name.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Let's compromise on the Mighty Ducks.
