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

Im not sure what the stat is now, but I remember a couple of years back it was an average of 24 a year in the US? Saying "school shootings every year" makes it feel like a bit of an understatement

Oh it is much worse.

Granted this has a broad description for "school shootings".

Although 2025 had improved. In 2023 it averaged out to just under 1 shooting a day.

yeah but is that counting or not counting gang violence? /s

*gets shot anyway*

School doesn't operate 352 days per year, so it was greater than a daily occurrence.
