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

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.
