Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

You're looking at each word and recognizing that sentences are there, and you're following through them. Your brain has decided that's sufficient work to absorb the material. So it just discards the information instead of doing the work to process it and convinces itself that it's reading.

Then you realize you did part of the job but didn't finish it. So you need to double the looking at words, paragraphs, or pages work while working actively to make the brain process it and form comprehension.

In some cases it can be demotivating. Otherwise just silly.
