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’ll have you know I went in there all the time!

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago

I was actually sleeping there...sometimes on the keyboard, when compiling a kernel took to long for young me to stay awake

[–] fraksken@infosec.pub 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me too, but you could quit any time you wanted!

The more time you spend in there, the more you become the computer

[–] Cnote5@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I recall when computers occupied entire floors of buildings.

Intended with love and respect.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.

They should be nailed to the wall, as is proper. I resent people being able to ring my mp3 player/satnav

Remember having to walk to the kitchen to answer the phone?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What kind or rich person had an entire room dedicated to the phone?

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Our city used to have these small glass rooms with a single phone inside on street corners.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

So you'd have to have an income to match an entire city's budget? Definitely for the rich!

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh you mean the see-through urinals?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But it does still live in its own room!

I'm just in there now often now.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Ignorance is bliss, as they say.

[–] chtk@feddit.nl 1 points 18 hours ago

But I like having my own bed room...

[–] BingBong@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, you don't have to buy a laptop or treat it as being mobile.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Or carry a mobile computer around with you in your pocket.

No they weren’t.

They were bad in ways we could never remember and better in ways we could not fathom.
