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

That's awesome. Thank you. I've seen a bit of that throughout all my life, feeling like I don't belong in any subculture cause of something of this sort. It's always something, I don't want to get to the conclusion that life sucks and everyone sucks that's kind of edgy but a % of that is so true no matter the subculture haha. I just have to do my own thing i guess

I appreciate that btw<3

For avoidance of doubt my point is in no way a criticism of mankind:

  • A % are always assholes.
  • Also a % are always genuinely good people.
  • The bulk of people are in the middle and kinda go with the cultural zeitgeist.

As far as I can tell, there are no more of the first kind than the second, though it's my impression that the third kind, in the middle, are at times in average more pro-social or more anti-social depending on the predominant culture of a place and time.

In the current Greed Is Good environment dominant in the West I would say that the bulk of people who aren't internally driven towards being a good person or being a selfish asshole tend toward "What's in it for me" anti-social behavior if only because that attracts more rewards and less social pushback, though as I said and in my experience of living in a couple of countries, local culture also has a big say in that.
