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

I think to be a wheel, it has to roll as its primary function

According to merriam-webster: a circular frame of hard material that may be solid, partly solid, or spoked and that is capable of turning on an axle.

So anything round that turns on an axle. I think wheels probably wins.

I mean if we're going with that kind of definition:

a usually swinging or sliding barrier by which an entry is closed and opened

This can cover a wide variety of things as well. Is the battery cover on the remote control a door? Is the lid on my water bottle a door?

Yeah, that definition seems good to me. I still think wheels wins, but the numbers for both are so absurdly high there is no reasonable way to conclude which has more.

Is a door hinge a wheel by that definition? It's circular (plus some extra but if we count gear wheels that should be fine), solid and turns on an axle.

I don't think a door hinge would count, it is more a lever with a pivot point. The door knob might count though.
