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 think they still make these but they're just hidden in the toy aisle of the dollar store

I was going to say that although I am THAT old, I was also THAT poor as a kid.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 7 points 1 month ago

You call that being THAT poor? I'm THAT old AND I only got to play this when visiting a friend.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see that and I'll raise you this bad boy.

I was nostalgically pleased to find one of these in Coin Game. They also had one of those vortex things where you put a coin in and it slowly circles into the donation hole.

You may be old, but are you this fucking old?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

I love Lemmy because there's always someone around that makes me feel that I might not be that old after all.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Yay, I can only say one of them applies. The Electric Company was awesome. Did have a bit at Pong, but only the 2600 version, which I think was after the initial.

And yes, I had a few of the water things in my day. They always eventually leaked.

Ok, now that's just mean.

Oh man, the hairdo on Miss Sally (was that her name?).

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

They still make those, we got one for our kid.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Those things were the worst.

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yes, I am that old. My back hurts.

[–] OldGrayDog@fedinsfw.app 4 points 1 month ago

Yes to all. Now get off my lawn!

[–] rockandsock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, those were always fun for a few weeks until they started leaking.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, and I excelled at them.

[–] DoomGuy_e66@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That damned thing used to get on my nerves when I was little.
