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

My coworkers: "Are you a mom? You're so good with kids!"

Me: "Haha, no. If I were a mom, I wouldn't have the energy to do this job."

My coworkers: "Okay, fair point."

I work with autistic and special needs children. I love it. The kids light up my days! But I also love that time after work when I'm home alone and can do whatever I feel like. I need my "me time" or I'd lose my mind.

Hats off to the parents out there, especially of special needs children. I see you, I feel your struggles, but I also see how awesome your kids are. I see so much talent in these little guys and it's a joy to be part of their journey.

At the same time, I can imagine how stressful your day-to-day life must be, and damn, I salute you for it. From having to learn sign language, to changing diapers well beyond toddlerhood, to dealing with insurance to get medical devices, I admire your tenacity and flexibility in doing whatever it takes for the sake of your child.
