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

Me looking back at 20yr old me who sold stock for the company I worked for 5 weeks before we were bought out by a large teleco company for $4 a share. When hired I was granted 200k options at .14c each and sold for .30 each. Bought a house with that downpayment, could have bought 4 with the 800k… or just invested with 11% returns for 25 years (-50% for divorce)…
Don’t feel too bad buddy. You could have been me, who sold 74 BTC for $35 each to recoup mining costs back in 2013. At least I got a free graphics card for all my troubles after all was said and done.
We don’t talk about BTC.. cough cough over 1000 and went, “well that’s boring” and deleted the wallet. Wasn’t even worth a pizza but looked cool and I had extra compute at the office that was just doing SETI work.
But I would have sold that shit too the moment it hit $1.
Couldn't have known
