Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’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 Formats
Not 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

I don't necessarily hate cats, but I can't stand to be around them because I am wildly allergic to them
That is a completely valid reason. There's always the ballsack cats if you want to experience one.
The problem with cat allergies is their saliva, not the fur, so hairless cats are still a problem.
Personally, I'm more allergic to the litterbox dust and shit smell than fur or saliva.
Also pretty sure it's going to be subjective as to what will set someone's allergies off, as allergies are extremely subjective.
I love sphynx cats. My wife thinks they're ugly tho
I have cat allergies, and I can tell you for a fact that I am still allergic to sphinx cats. Possibly even more so.
It has never stopped me from interacting with cats though, I just have to try to remember to take a zyrtec or something before hand
I remember reading something a long time ago about parents telling their kids they were allergic to cats to keep from having a cat as a pet, and the kids growing up believing that only to one day discover it was never true.
It could have been true. Growing out of allergies isn't too uncommon. I used to be allergic to all sorts of things that're just fine now.
This I know for myself
I’ve got the opposite going on! I’ve been allergic to them my whole life and have always had them, and was told I wasn’t allergic! Neat!
