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

There used to be these traveling bookstores that came around to schools, set up shop, and we got out of class to go look at their wares. Typical capitalism thing.

Books are nice to have though, for sure. I still have some of the Horrible Histories books that I bought through them that I probably wouldn't be able to get elsewhere (since they were imported from the UK) at the time.

Edit: just remembered I'm a 2000's kid so this meme doesn't really apply to my situation
