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 thought the first picture was any live sports broadcast on Amazon Prime.

I'm mostly pulling this out of my ass but isn't it because the servers providing ads are different than (and likely prioritized over) the servers providing the actual content?

That's one option, but it's usually that the ads are pre-downloaded and stored on your device. Cuz fuck you, that's why.
