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

As an 80s kid, who still somewhat talks 80s, yeah I can see this. 😂

Little dude, if something sounds too radical to be righteous, its probably bogus.

Damn and here I was trying to think of what counted as 80s talk and that made perfect sense to me.

And this is how we sound to past generations lol

Cool and righteous, my dude

It's probably only a matter of a decade or two that retirement homes are going to be full of fans of the Ramones, Iron Maiden, and Nirvana 😁

Can someone translate this for me?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a lie

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

Ok, thanks. I'll go find a retirement home now.

Ah, do you remember a time when white people in America had their own culture? Now it's just wholesale stolen from black culture. Didn't even bother scratching out the serial or nothing.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What are you referring to? I don't think anyone still alive today remembers a time before white people stole black culture.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but before it was done with some level of cognitive dissonance. Certainly industry heads watched what black communities were making, stole it, and repackaged it for white audiences. Now, it's stolen directly from audiences without even bothering to repackage it.
