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

When I worked at a TV station as an engineer (over a decade ago), I regularly had to dealmwith fucking bees living in the sattelite LNBs.
This usually involved spraying an entire can of bee killet spray at the LNB then running inside for the rest of the week.
Why aren't the bees allowed to live in the satellite?
They interfere with the signal to the point of killing the signal.
Okay that's fair.
Just to be a bit more specific, we had these Cband LNBs on the dishes, and the bees would crawl up inside and build nests. The flat end is open.

Very cool, thank for sharing.
Could someone have built a decoy LNB for the bees?
You know, that may have been a useful idea for the old ones we had replaced. Just mount them around the sat yard on poles.
And you get free bees.
