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

There are vegans and vegetarians who like the taste of animal products but choose not to eat them for ethical reasons alone. I don’t think it’s strange or wrong to want to replicate a familiar and enjoyable recipe. That being said, there are many times where I would prefer a recipe that was created with whole plant-based ingredients than eat ultra-processed, artificial tasting animal product substitutes.

Agreed. Ultra-processed wannabe meat isn't the best option and there are some genuinely good plant-based alternatives that aren't held back by trying to be meat.

That said, most dairy replacements are markedly sad with the exception of cashew milk and plant-based cream replacement (where flavor and shelf life are so obviously superior that I stopped buying the real stuff).
