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

Cow milk has economy of scale and subsidies on its side, milk alternatives would be cheaper given an equal playing field
Even then, oat milk could be sold cheaper than real milk. But they know their target customer is willing to pay a premium for a plant based product
Does anyone remember margarine? It’s mostly as good as any other butter, was historically much cheaper, and actually better in things like butter cream frosting (makes it lighter and fluffier).
My wife has developed an allergy to dairy in the last 5 years and all these alternative butters are ridiculously overpriced, but many of them seem to just be margarine with vegan butter branding Some of them like Miyokos are kinda terrible sometimes, or smell like fish oil when heated in a pan.
Remember? Why would people forget about it?
Is it rare where you're from? Here in Australia, I consider margarine the norm. To the point that if I say I'm having "vegemite and butter" or "jam and butter" on bread/toast, I expect people will know that I actually mean margarine, not butter. In any context other than baking, in fact, I'd expect "butter" to actually mean margarine.
