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

Religion is so stupid, but this is an excellent costume idea
My kid wasn't allowed to bring in a Halloween book to her daycare because of this bullshit. Terrible parents. Dumb religion.
These fuckers can't not impose their bullshit on everyone else.
Oh in that case my religion bans their holidays too
What religion doesn't let you wear costumes?
I asume without evidence its more like not allowing him to participate in what they see as pagan celebrations.
Went to church as a child, saw a lot of this.
One of my mother's former friends was absolutely furious when she found out my sister and I had gone trick or treating and that was basically the end of their friendship and their kids weren't allowed to talk to us anymore, their family began sitting across the room from ours like it's a fucking high school lunch room.
The church started doing "Bible dress up day" on trick or treat night encouraging people to dress up like their favorite Bible character and doing games and shit with candy rewards for things. Some people left the church over it and attendance was low since most people still went trick or treating.
pagan celebrations
Oh so every religious practice is off limits?
When I was kid, my christian parents didn't allow us to dress as witches and other spooky "satanic" things 🤣
Jehovah's Witness
An increasing number of other christian sects, many of which make jw's look libertine as fuck.
Jehovah's Witnesses exlude themselves from many holidays. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/g201309/truth-about-halloween/
It’ll be real awkward if he dies and his religions god is like “I know what you did”
Sorry folks but the correct answer was Mormon.
if that kid's family is muslim, this is still not allowed and that probably goes for every other religion that'd forbid halloween costumes
It's amazing when you actually manage to post a meme to a meme community. This is, as usual, not one of those times.
I privately chuckled, the post is beyond scrutiny now
