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

While mushrooms aren't plants, I'm reminded of a couple who ate lethal mushrooms because their AI written book showed them a picture of those lethal mushrooms and said they were harmless (they thankfully survived, but they still got badly sick).
However I'm guessing by plant identification AI you mean less AI book and more active 'What's this plant?' type AI
I'd rather not have to pay the subscription, but PictureThis on iOS has been invaluable to my partner and I with identifying native plants to try and grow in our wildlife pond or to transplant into our yard for local pollinators. You can see a plant doing well in nature and snap a photo to learn what it likely is, if its native, and its common use case.
Using reverse image search to ID a plant based on its leaves and flowers is pretty fun since they tend to be unique-ish and easy to tell apart. Would never try to ID mushrooms without expert advice, never mind eating them.
