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.

Remember kids, make sure you use strong enough wood for the guillotine to actually hold the traitors to their country in place. I reccommend something like southern yellow pine, as its cheap for its surprising strength. Additionally, make sure to sharpen the blade at a roughly 30° from paralel to the vertical to maximise sharpness thst will still hold an edge!
