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

It's bots posting AIgen images commented by LLM bots
It's dead all the way down in SlopBook

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 68 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Those comments are AI. Not boomers.

I dont think is far fetched that the average facebook user in 2026 can only write 1-2 words

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think it is far fetched that the average facebook user in 2026 is AI

It's just bots all the way down

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 61 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Half the commenting accounts could be Ai.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you telling me that somewhere out there is an AI thot trying to scam an AI old man

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

There's never an AI old man. That's a limitless resource online.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

And, believe it or not, the rest of the comments could also be AI.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Facebook is like ragebate for the old folks home.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Except the old folks home is really bots, and also the ragebait is bots. I don't like where this is heading, because it sounds like we're gonna have a lot of angry bots on our hands.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We need a AI tag on Facebook ngl

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just stop using Facebook. It is toxic, harvests mass data, conducts experiments on users without consent, and funnels money to an oligarch that is complicit in the destruction of democracy, the environment, and the working class.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 month ago

And that's why I don't like it

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Facebook has an "AI Content" flag. But I think it's just for stuff generated with their tools. And if there's text and an image, it doesn't tell you which part is AI.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 month ago

so its partially there

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My 83 year old grandmother with budding dementia watches nonstop AI generated stories set in pre-industrial times on YouTube, only second to court TV. She says it’s comforting, and she just wants to be entertained with content that feels like the same thing.

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Meanwhile her perceptions are being shaped by those comfortable fictions. Worse than written fiction? Who knows, we're all test subjects at this point.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can’t take it away from her… she gets mad and throws a tantrum.

The boomers are also bots, lol

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Aside from the majority being bots. Why would anyone comment these sorts of one word comments that don't add anything to the discussion? Like, what is the purpose of those?

Is it really that they think their opinion is somehow so important, it is imperative everyone else knows how they feel about a picture of a house? Do they also scream when their food at a restaurant is yummy? Or call everyone over to admire the shit someone left in the toilet?

[–] Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Amazing 😍

Does nobody curate their FB feed or use browser plug-ins to remove the garbage? Immediately “X”-ing unwanted ads, people, or pages keeps them at bay for a good while. Plug-ins like “social media fixer” will automatically remove “recommended” and any other unwanted junk you choose via phrase or keyword.

It can be usable and useful for when you want it if you take the time to fix it. I prefer it to reddit these days specifically because I can control what shows up on my screen, unlike reddit cramming in-line ads, suggested /r/ I don’t want to see, and …well, fuck spez for wrecking what used to be a cool place. Otherwise there is no point at all in using it.

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pretty much anybody who knows how to do those things also knows better than to use Facebook. What do you even go on there for? Also this is like windows fanboy levels of cope. Like "I know this software is designed to spy on everything I do and send all that info back to the literally evil corporation that's fucking over the planet and ruining everything, and I know that's it's objectively bad and terrible to use, but if you just do this list of 100 tweaks and hacks it makes it slightly less terrible!"

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

There are several hobby groups as well as industry groups I beong to and use it for.

Could you be more dramatic?

Edit: if you don’t like plug-ins, why don’t you remove all your ad-blockers and anything else you use to make the internet more usable? Seeing as you’re against people using “hacks” to make things usable.

The only way to get news from my city utilities, mayor, or literally anything local is through Facebook. They do not have a website. Tons of small towns operate like this.

Why is my water brown? I'll have to log into Facebook to find out.

Everytime I opened Facebook recently, all I see are conservatives being butt hurt about anything that isn't conservative. A post about how a Democrat is trying to increase school lunch programs? That'll apparently bankrupt the parents of the kids through taxes. Holding discussions about the water shortages and how to better help farmers? A waste of tax payer money apparently. A proposition to increase taxes for the rich and decrease it for the poor to help part for social services? Well that'll drive out the entire local economy and kill small business. I swear, it's the most delusional shit I've ever seen

Facebook makes bank advertising to the optimal ratio of stupidity to wealth possible.

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Every trump ballroom render was genai, and not a single person on Lemmy flagged it either.

If AI provides the red cloth to an audience looking for a red cloth, they will see a red cloth.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Source? Not that I don't Believe you I just haven't seen this

[–] Obituarykidney@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tbf, even if it wasn't ai it would still just be a render. Not worth looking at it that closely. Last I heard it was still a pile of rubble.

[–] Darkonion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

15 years ago someone in their 50s showed me an obvious CGI of a ball bouncing around a bunch of musical instruments miraculously 'playing them' and they thought that was real... And later that year they thought they'd gotten a great deal by buying a fancy RV from someone in Japan for $5000 (shockingly was a scam). They are a frequent enjoyer of facebook today and probably not even the most easily fooled person that age that I know.
