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

It started as YMCA but then lost me
the lyrics to YMCA changed to reference
- an old meme structured around finding out something about your date and then abruptly running away from the date (but not before grabbing the breadsticks)
- a poorly written copypasta parodying the American "make out spot" murderer trope where a girls boyfriend leaves the car to investigate a noise, the girl gets spooked and drives off, only to discover "man hook hand car door" (a man with a hook for a hand) was trying to get in the car but it got trapped as she drove off
- "gun" is a reference to a super smash bros character who had a gun and people would edit clips of people talking about them to just be repetitions of the word "gun"
the text is lined up to resemble the "loss" meme and is on a politicial compass.
Thanks for the explanation though
Coming as a crosspost from the guy I have labeled "Mothman" adds like 2 or 3 more tiers to how true and funny this is.
Lmao I love finding people who know me as the mothman. And there are a lot more than i thought.
I love the moth memes, so it's absolutely a term of endearment, though I have started to just recognize you as a general top-tier meme poster from the home instance! Thanks for helping to make the fediverse amazing!
Haha thanks mate.
Stamets came in and added a couple of meme comms on /0 and I now have a local comm to post on. Never wanted to make one myself lol. Now the comm I mostly post on are local.
You'll notice me even more now that I have the art and surreal meme comms here.
I remember telling my partner about you when you were moth posting. There are people who don't even use lemmy who know you as mothman
My fame knows no bounds. Theres Genghis Khan, disgraced celebrity Danny Masterson and I.
I have a young coworker who has these very "internet" seeming jokes and he is constantly explaining them to me. I don't think I've found any of them funny but it might just be that they're not funny when explained.
I think it's funny how frustrated he gets when I don't know the stuff. It's like half the stuff he says is referencing some internet thing and now he has to translate it all to another language.
