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

yes

oat milk is an alright substitute, helped by being cheap

oat ice cream has a slightly different texture and flavor, though its harder to notice in the Ben & Jerry's

But oat butter is indistinguishable from cow butter

Idk, we always used corn butter or margarine, it just tastes better. Not even from a veganism standpoint, it just better.

Margarine tastes nothing like butter.

And when you start looking at it from a chemical composition standpoint, they are very different things (and I'm no chemist).

I have nothing against margarine, used a lot of it in my life - it has it's uses, but it isn't butter, anymore than cream cheese is butter or margarine, though the three have similarities.

If you spend any time baking, all 3 have their use-cases, and can rarely sub for the other.

Eh, not really. I mean, maybe an actual chemist would disagree that this makes them quite similar, but the difference is basically one single bond becomes a double bond. To a lay person, at least, they appear chemically very similar.
