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

Wasn't there a game show with this, but instead of people it was money? If you split you get half of it, if you steal you get all of it, if both steal you get nothing

It's a form of prisoners dilemma.

But the show was golden balls and here is probably the most famous scene https://youtu.be/S0qjK3TWZE8

That said it basically ended the show because he broke the whole premise.

Not wrapping my head around that. I can almost get it. Somebody help me.

Ok, so player 2 states he is going to steal but will share winnings afterwards. Player 1 has 2 options... 1. Choose steal, resulting in 0 money. 2. Choose split and have a 50/50 chance of getting money(depending on if player 2 is honest).

Probably Golden Balls.

Edit: originally said deal or no deal but that's not it.
