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

Why are you, as a person that cooks, not able to understand how to cook onions, and trusting anything other than nonna or yourself?
Are you supposed to be born knowing how to fry onions? And you're guaranteed to have a culinary literate nonna?
If you don't cook at all, then this is a valid point. If you do cook at all - fats (oils, butter), onion, and garlic are just after boiling water. I'm not trying to be snobby. But it's weird post when you can look up how to cook onions.
We are literally talking about how the information you find when you look up how to cook onions is often wrong.
Do you buy your onions pre-sliced/diced? Because I'm glad we're not here talking about knife skills then. Put some in a pan and figure it out.
But if you don't know how to cook why would you look up how to make onions if the recipe states to 'caramelise' them in 5 minutes?
...right? Hence the admonishment for giving wrong instructions. I'm confused.
Some people are still learning...?
