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

Ive only tried crickets and they're very bland compared to shellfish
It's all about the cooking and seasoning. I tried fried ones they were like chips. Goes very well with beer.
In my experience the boiled bugs usually tastes bad at least to me.
I had seasoned roasted ones, but they are farmed and probably fed a diet of oats so they taste pretty oaty. I compare them to, for example, roasted chickpeas which are also a relatively high protein salted snack and I find the roasted chickpeas are far more flavourful and dont require as much seasoning to bring out that flavour.
I'd argue the same is true for shrimp. It's all about how it's cooked and seasoned. They can taste pretty good, but plain they just exist, not tasting good or bad.
