A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

I 'member when they were called PMs, and were Private.
Then the social media Bros took over and removed the privacy and called them DMs.
Even PMs were never private though. I used to run forum software (both Invision Power Board and phpBB 20 years ago in the early 2000s) on my web site and PMs were records in the MySQL DB. I never did, but I could read anyone’s PMs if I wanted to.
Yep I was admin on a site too there was a way to do it. I never did though
I remember PMs too! I still call them that sometimes
DMs are just as private as PMs. It's not like server admins/app operators could not also see the messages in past services when we called them PMs.
