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

It is a comparison, because it has the same reason.
Comparisons are valid, even if they play close to the other person.
Ad hominem is just attacking a person without any valid arguments.
It's not a comparison, it's a simile
Now define simile without using the word 'comparison', since you believe a simile isn't a comparison
It's when one thing is likened to another thing, so as to transfer attitudes or understanding from the second thing to the first thing.
What you're saying is like trying to say a rectangle isn't a square
So since you are transferring the attitudes or understanding, then those things would no longer be applicable to the first, after they were transferred.
No, it's a duplicating operation
