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

Boiled peanuts
The fuck is a boiled peanut?
A frozen potato.
it’s exactly what it sounds like. they are … weird. i do not like them.
When a liquid gets hot enough, it turns into a gas. When a liquid is hot enough that it's turning into a gas, it's said to be boiling. Immersing raw food products in boiling liquid is a common cooking technique, food cooked in this way is said to be boiled. A peanut is the edible seed, or pulse, of a peanut plant, a tropical legume. Ergo a boiled peanut is a peanut which has been boiled.
popular in the south. soak overnight in brine and then boil peanuts (in the shell like this 🥜) until they turn soft, then you pop them out of the shell and eat the soft, salty nut
Many people have had them and don't realize it. Many brands you buy were boiled in a heavy brine before roasting. Just like that 'baked potato' you eat from a restaurant is often boiled.
Nah fam, boiled peanuts are fucking awesome

This is the most bizzare thing I've heard of, and I just can't stop laughing.
Ever had 'em fresh? Love me some warm nuts.
Wouldn't that be filicide?
Cajun boiled peanuts are heaven. Now I'm hungry.
... The fuck??
When you lose your teeth and still want to eat nuts
