Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’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 Formats
Not 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's the added factor here of putting your loved ones in the position of either...
A: Killing one person (let's presume it's someone they also care about)...
B: Killing three people, or...
C: All dying horribly
In no scenario do your loved ones get to control the outcome, and it's presumably a horrible experience for them regardless. I'd say that the math favors not pulling the lever. It has a 100% chance of your loved ones only being forced to passively kill one person, as opposed to whatever the odds are in scenarios B or C of even greater numbers of fatalities being on their consciences.
