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

Sounds like a good reason to use fuel on massive truck deliveries instead of individual transportation.
A personal vehicle has a tare of ~2,000kg to move ~80kg of human. So <5% of the engine output is moving cargo.
A transport has a tare ~13,000 kg to move ~22,000 kg of stuff So ~40% of the engine output is moving cargo.
A city bus has a tare of ~12000 kg to move ~5000kg of human and stuff. So about ~30% of the engine output is moving cargo.
My bike gets some crazy efficiency using this method! At least it does until I strap on my 2x35L bags on it.
