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

Dial up had an excuse, it was legitimately slow. A theoretical maximum of 56,000 bits per second, and you never really got that, that theoretical maximum involved on the fly compression and stuff like that. You were lucky to get 32k.
Now that we're measuring connections in gigabits and can stream 4k video, a website that loads slowly is just badly designed.
