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

There was kind of a conflict in between...

Don't forget the additional 100k dead from the firebombing of Tokyo.

More like, "We'll drop more if you don't fucking end this war now"

But yeah

Except the war was over in all but name.

Millions more could have died in a long drawn out end. It also told the Soviets not to fuck with the US after the war.

Do you usually sound this confident when saying dumb shit?

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you always go to old ass posts and randomly insult people?

The Japanese leaders literally were not fully convinced about surrendering after the first nuclear bomb.

Plus the firebombing of Tokyo with 105k deaths

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 month ago

Plus all the other morale bombing we did. The exact figures aren't even known, but it was upwards of 350k civilians murdered by the United States in Japan during WW2.

Please. They massacred somewhere around 105 000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo long before that. Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just for shits and giggles.
