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

The part where it's illegal to charge extra for children but not illegal to charge extra for pets.
They're right, it's bullshit and it shouldn't be allowed.
I think it's a false equivalence. A human child is not the same thing as a pet animal. Framing the issue purely in terms of how much damage potential they have seems to be dismissing that distinction for no good reason.
Any reason is a good reason to dismiss that distinction. Pets are family. We don't love them less than human family, or at least decent people don't.
Still, if like takes a shit on you and you have to give up your pets, that's a little less traumatic than losing your kids.
"Help control the human population, have your children spayed or neutered." (/s)
Maybe we shouldn't dismiss the distinction so readily.
