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

Hey at least you can sleep through the flight ...once toddler behind you stops crying.

And the turbines stop being so loud.

This was why my wife and I stopped taking early morning flights. It just was never worth it, ever. It always made us angry, tired, and a terrible way to start a trip.

It does kind of suck when your options are:

A) Early flight that gets you to your destination 5 hours before hotel check-in, and requires getting up at 2:30am

B) Late flight that leaves at a convenient time, but means you waste an entire vacation day to arrive at 10pm

C) Convenient flight that costs 3x more than option A or B and suddenly eats up half your travel budget

A usually ends up being the most attractive option.

Why would B use up a vacation day? Get off work at 5 or 6, head to the airport for flight at 7 or 8 and you still have time for a multi-hour long flight with time to make it to a hotel on the other side.

Also saving 0.1% of your travel expenses by adding 14 hours and 2 layovers to your international journey

Also me buying movie theater popcorn for $35:

The profit margins on cinema food must be ridiculous. Corn costs virtually nothing. Imagine adding salt and butter, popping the corn and charging 35 USD for it.

I used to date a girl that worked at a theater. She was always coming home with trash bags filled with popcorn. It was basically free to make so they could have as much as they want.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I mean I’m being a little hyperbolic, but yeah, it is actually like $15, and probably costs them a few cents to make.

3am ? Where? I can't find any flight later than 7pm here in Europe.
