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

Dubai chocolate bars. $15 for a candy bar that just tastes like sweet? Makes no sense to me.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 16 hours ago

Me neither there's waaaay better chocolate available

I'm not sure what kind of arctic wonderland you have to live in to keep them from immediately melting into goo, either.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tried one. Immediately couldn’t understand what the big deal was.

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

It looks pretty so “influencers” like to take pictures of them and then they became popular.

I actually love the pistachio taste but I don't pay for it

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hot honey. I keep seeing it on menus. It's just rubbish honey that's had chili added so you can't taste how rubbish it is. Ugh.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

It's just a different sweet chilli. I like it, but do enjoy chilli.

Bottled water bought by people whose tap water is perfectly fine (i.e. almost everybody who buys it).

I like them both, but I will concede that it's not for everyone. Plus, really expensive caviar doesn't taste much better than mid-tier caviar.

As for oysters, my GF hates them solely because of the texture.

Motherfucking cantaloupe. I'm mildly allergic to all melons, but I only avoid cantaloupe. Stupid orange rectangles that infest every fruit salad. And the name itself sounds like something inquisitors would yell as they dragged you out of you hovel for knowing too much about herbs.

Why do people keep growing those awful, inflamed-testicle-looking pieces of shit? Even taking the people that punch holes in the side and fuck them into account, I can't imagine the demand is that high.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Sick to death of every fruit cup in stores and restaurants being 75% composed of that feet-smelling bitch-melon.

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

If you could pick it out and it didnt make every other fruit within a 10 mile radius taste like cantaloupe I wouldn't mind it in the fruit salads so much

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In Australia they are called Rockmelon, because, you know... Also they can be very bland or delicious, especially if you get one from a small fruit & veg shop rather than supermarket where they are picking shit way too early so it lasts longer on the shelf.

[–] groucho@retrolemmy.com 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah it's entirely possible I've only had the weird soviet-style grocery ones that are like cutting through a block of ice and only have ballistic uses.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I love canteloupe! The smell, the colour, the texture, the taste... it's all good to me

Only on Lemmy do you get downvoted for liking cantaloupe. What’s up with that KuroiKaze@lemmy.world?

Grapefruits

[–] trslim@pawb.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wime, specifically Pinot Noir. It's disgusting. It tastes like rotten dirt.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] trslim@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i was gonna change it, but i dont even respect pinot noir enough to do that.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

❤️ I respect that

[–] jaaake@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Truffle.

It's so overpowering and stinky, I don't understand why people want to pile it up on things or distill it to a liquid to turn the flavor of whatever you're eating into gym socks.

Truffle fries? No. Stop. Go away.

Caviar. Salty raw fish eggs. I think the rich started this rumour that it was an excellent gourmet item just so they could secretly laugh at the poors when they spent a bunch of their hard earned money on fish eggs, just to appear "Classy".

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

Salted caramel and desserts topped with sea salt

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 6 points 1 day ago

Beer. And alcohol in general.
