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

I think you can't expect anything from cats. They historically lived on the farm with farmers, chasing rats and other annoying small animals, and that's it. You weren't supposed to interact with them much, they do their thing, you do yours. Maybe the children play a bit with them, but that's it.

If you want a companion, get a dog.

In my country today, dogs keep livestock together and ward off intruders (human or animal). The concept of a "pet" dog is relatively new and there wasn't even dedicated dog food until a few years ago, they just ate scraps and offcuts.
