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

If you use Plex or Jellyfin you can even set up a live channel of your content for your kid. One decent solution is to use https://tunarr.com/

That's cool! It's the kind of project I'd love to do, but I know it wouldn't actually get used. Aside from how kids his age haven't really been exposed to much broadcast TV, so many shows these days are serialised as a consequence of the whole streaming phenomenon!

I lament the death of the episodic format often, because it intrinsically respects your time more. Serialised shows all have the confidence to say "hang on, it gets really good in about an hour and a half", which is bullshit. Serialised shows know that they need to command your attention within a couple minutes, and the scripts are so much more tight and compelling as a result.

I would absolutely run my own pirate TV channel, like the pirate radio DJs of old. I just don't have the IT or legal wherewithal to put my hand on that chopping block. But I could definitely bring the content and arrangement to an outfit doing something like that.
