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

Motherfucking cantaloupe. I'm mildly allergic to all melons, but I only avoid cantaloupe. Stupid orange rectangles that infest every fruit salad. And the name itself sounds like something inquisitors would yell as they dragged you out of you hovel for knowing too much about herbs.
Why do people keep growing those awful, inflamed-testicle-looking pieces of shit? Even taking the people that punch holes in the side and fuck them into account, I can't imagine the demand is that high.
Good cantaloupe you can smell it in the store as you approach the display. If it is fragrant it's ripe, otherwise it's just a rock of tasteless nothing. This is a fruit I love but can imagine not liking, it's a very distinct flavor.
Sick to death of every fruit cup in stores and restaurants being 75% composed of that feet-smelling bitch-melon.
I love canteloupe! The smell, the colour, the texture, the taste... it's all good to me
Me too
Only on Lemmy do you get downvoted for liking cantaloupe. What’s up with that KuroiKaze@lemmy.world?
That's fair. I don't understand it but it's fair.
If you could pick it out and it didnt make every other fruit within a 10 mile radius taste like cantaloupe I wouldn't mind it in the fruit salads so much
In Australia they are called Rockmelon, because, you know... Also they can be very bland or delicious, especially if you get one from a small fruit & veg shop rather than supermarket where they are picking shit way too early so it lasts longer on the shelf.
Yeah it's entirely possible I've only had the weird soviet-style grocery ones that are like cutting through a block of ice and only have ballistic uses.
I feel this way about 98% of canteloupes. Canteloupe can be very tasty if it is perfectly ripe and grown in good conditions. Not worth the risk though. Much better with prosciutto, too
Reminded me of This. I fully agree with you and the video.
