Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

When the war economy collapses, Luxembourg will surpass them.

Don't forget the wine money and the olive oil money. 🤌🏼

And the strategic cheese storages.

There are certainly worse ways for White to open.

Oh, wait. Pre-dawn and only ½ C of coffee in, and I misread things, apparently. I thought you meant the ol' "e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4." 🤓

Yeah, that's this "gifted" gray meat of mine.

Refuses to stand on one leg to put pants on first thing, but can skim a headline and recall the Italian Game from a game I've barely played IRL (<100 matches), yup.

It's a madhouse on the hill, but also a circus, etc., so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Memes from the beginning of the war....I was utterly convinced that once EU+USA open up the weapon funnel to Ukraine that it will be an one way street from there on. Fast forward to today and EU is still having strategy summits where they discuss concepts of the plan. As always: two more weeks.

The strategy seems to be to bleed Russia dry rather than to go for a quicker victory, at least as far as Europe is concerned. The US is in part controlled by Putin for the next few years.

War is lucrative and we're all being ruled by corpos, some more and some less obvious

Tap for spoilerDoctor Melendez and Doctor Brown were removed.
