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

It was supposed to be phased out of regular gasoline in 2021. It will still be used in airplane fuel. It will take decades before it isn't present in large quantities though. That much lead in the environment doesn't just disappear.
A poisonous and heavy metal just spewing everywhere in the sky. And the conspiracy theorists ignore that and fall for fake bullshit.
For sure, not that I doubt things like global warming. The reality is oil and gas kill many millions every year. The focused only on global warming is almost a red hearing when it already causes so much death.
I think the problem is, or at least one I see a lot, is that climate change is already happening, but because it's gradual and there's already so much unpredictability you can rarely just point at something specific and say "that's because of climate change." And the constant naming of it as "global warming" has done so much damage too, because now when the new weather is cold you still have skeptical conservatives saying things like "global warming my ass!"
