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

Well it usually went like this:
Beeep (that's the sound you'd get in the handset, while the other phone would 'Riiing').
Parent picks up phone:
"Hello?"
You:
"Is Lady Butterfly there?"
"Just a sec."
Patent screaming: LADY BUTTERFLY!! PHONE!! (Possible: 'Coming!')
And then everyone waited in total silence until your friend got, panting after a short sprint, to the phone.
Or:
"She's sick/at club/coming home at 18/.."
"Okaythankyougoodbye" hang up.
Thank you for attending my Ted-Pre-War talk.
I can hear this comment.
This is how I remember it. You didn't small talk unless you both had a good relationship with the person and the person wasn't there to come to the phone.
