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

Ah, so the article is intentionally misleading by using a single months data as if it represents a whole year. Also April is the start of a new financial year so not exactly unsurprising to see it being higher for price increases.
Well, yes and no. I see how the figure can be confusing and misunderstood. A nearly 4% price increase usually happens over the course of a year or two and it has happened in a single month, which is the point of the article.
