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

Manufacturing flour comes with the risk of dust explosion. Various dusts can catch fire and explode, in certain conditions. It's a risk taken very seriously by the industry, as it has caused terrible accidents in history, at mills and in packing factories for instance.
Plastic bags can create static electricity discharge, which can ignite flour dust and cause explosions.
What can't cause static electricity discharge is paper. So paper bags it is.
So why do some flours come in plastic bags? Sounds like a manufacturing improvement that "they" don't want to spend money on.

"Why does everything have to come in plastic? Something something petrochemicals, something something microplastics. Bring back the paper bags."
