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

Just make sure you tell your kid how much torque that cheater pipe produces. I may have overtightened my dad's lug nuts with a cheater pipe that produced about 5000 lbs of torque at one time.....
I started to add another additional step where after having snapped the head off the bolt you had to drill and use a Ezout to remove the rest of the bolt.
I remember my dad jumping on a 6ft+ cheater pipe to break some lugs, grown-ass man grinning like a little boy
torque has units of force times length so it would be inch pounds or foot pounds. failing to specify a length unit makes your statement make no sense.
I don't remember, it was like a 5 and a half foot pipe, and this was ~~almost~~ slightly over 30 years ago
Edit: oh fuck.
I dont have a problem with the hyperbole, just the incorrect units. As an engineer it bothers me and makes people sound like they dont know what they're talking about even if they do.
