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

In civilized countries (like everywhere else than US) you get 3-5 week summer vacation by law.

Edit: 9 countries dont have mandatory vacation US and 8 island nations: https://www.axios.com/2026/07/02/vacation-world-us-paid-leave

I don't know, I kind of want the garbage pickup to happen every week...

Being able to buy some food could be beneficial too

Therefore everyone should have an entire season's worth of paid time off to take as much time for themselves as possible with no reduction in pay.

The ai robots could absolutely handle those things but instead we’re teaching them to increase profits and shoot dissenters

They couldn't even get everyone to stop working during a pandemic

And where would you acquire a popsicle?

[–] davad@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Popsicles are shelf stable. You could make them in the fall, winter, and spring.

And how do you freeze them without electricity while all energy grid staff is on they summer leave?

[–] speakupattheback@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But who makes and sells the popsicles

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

We can all freeze cool aid ourselves

It could be, if we all fought for it.

Someone should provide food, electricity, water, healthcare, flight with fires, take out garbage , sell medication and so on.

At this stage of technology, infrastructure and society we are unable to indulge in such an utopia yet.

At what point do we make the seasons into a shift-like experience?

Oh, never mind. That'd require the cogs of capitalism pay individuals more so they could float through such a season.

Summer is too hot now, we'll have to move this to fall.
