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

My coworkers: "Are you a mom? You're so good with kids!"

Me: "Haha, no. If I were a mom, I wouldn't have the energy to do this job."

My coworkers: "Okay, fair point."

I work with autistic and special needs children. I love it. The kids light up my days! But I also love that time after work when I'm home alone and can do whatever I feel like. I need my "me time" or I'd lose my mind.

Hats off to the parents out there, especially of special needs children. I see you, I feel your struggles, but I also see how awesome your kids are. I see so much talent in these little guys and it's a joy to be part of their journey.

At the same time, I can imagine how stressful your day-to-day life must be, and damn, I salute you for it. From having to learn sign language, to changing diapers well beyond toddlerhood, to dealing with insurance to get medical devices, I admire your tenacity and flexibility in doing whatever it takes for the sake of your child.

I love my nieces and nephews, the best part of getting to watch them over a weekend is that I get to give them back.

Being the favourite uncle is honestly the best. Love seeing them, love giving them back.

I can give it my all for about 6 hours at a time. I could not do it 24/7

I beg to differ.

If you would make a good hitwoman, there are SO many people that need to be killed these days.

Don't let your talent go to waste!

Just putting this out there for those that might (even unintentionally) blurt out something like that, however well-meaning it is: Don't.

This can be a very sore topic for a lot of people, so it's best to avoid it, unless you're very close and your friend/coworker/family member shows clear signs that they want to talk about it.

It can be worse if it's a family member or a close person that you know. Especially if they are privileged:

"It's a shame you don't have kids, I can see you love them!"

Why yes, of course! But you see? Where the fuck should I grow them? Under a bridge? Living in poverty? It's rich, coming from you who got a house for free and don't have to worry about a mortgage or a rent!

Seriously, never, EVER, bring that topic on someone, especially if you know them well. It's not nice.

Are we talking like Trump hitwoman? Or like CEO hitwoman?
