Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
Weβre here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light β 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, donβt 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

to be honest it could also be "Fuck Visa and fuck Mastercard"
They take a pretty big bite.
Don't forget AmEx, the greediest of the bunch. π€πΌ
how could I remember, I don't live in the US
Because AmEx is accepted in over 200 countries and is one of the largest credit card networks and credit card issuers in the world, not just the US?
Visa and mastercard also do more than just credit card, they also have debit card networks.
Yet in my country there's no place taking cash only, I have not withdrawn cash since my weed-buying days
I don't even withdraw cash for buying weed...
Sorry, what? πΆ
If a lot of your business, like say a small library, is $0.10 at time, you will lose money ringing it up on a card.
I went somewhere that refused to accept American Express because it wasn't worth the fees.
Most local shops don't accept amex. Definitely all the local ones.
Amex has at least double the fees of the others. So very understandable
If they can accept American Express, they should.
American Express gets a bad wrap in the merchant/e-commerce industry, but out of visa/mastercard, they do the least amount of evil.
