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

To say nothing of the fact that there are still princesses in this era. 🤢🤒

Let's not pretend it is in any way the same thing it was a few hundred years ago.

Royals used to be the ruling class, the top dogs, the owners. this is obviously not the case any more.

If you look at how much property the british crown still owns: they're still part of the owner class.

Now they are just harmless parasites. But if the opportunity came to take back power they would seize it, so we better get rid of monarcs

Harmless? Tell that to the millions in abject poverty because these fucks leech everything that can.

If your country has any "royals" at all and even a single person among you is struggling to get enough to eat, earn enough money to survive, or even keep a home... those royals are only harmless to you and even then only in your head. 🤢

I tried to be consensual but we killed all of them in my country and we are better off this way

Imprecise, logically fallacious, and irrelevant at best. No.

A masterfully compelling argument. 😙

Its honestly really weird how most people in the US do not know even a little second Language.

[–] derry@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Que?
Dos cervazas por favor.
Los banos?

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Pero, puedes pedir mas que cervezas?

[–] cazssiew@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

No entiendo. ¿Que hay que pedir si ya tienes cerveza?

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Don't need it 🤷‍♂️

For those unfamiliar with British journalism, the Daily Mirror (sometimes The Mirror) is a shitty British tabloid. If you see them, the Daily Mail, The Sun, the Daily Express, etc. reporting on something and think "I can't believe the media is covering this crap", you should probably check to make sure it's actually "the media" and not just the subset "the shitty tabloid media that will print literally anything idiots will click on".

She learned Spanish at an early age from her long-time nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo, who hails from Palencia, Spain.

I wonder if Borrallo ever got her UK citizenship, or she's working under threat of deportation like so many others.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Post so old she probably knows 3 by now
