Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

Who, in 2025, doesn't either use a PiHole, adblocker in browser, and/or just mute and change out the window while the ad is playing?? It's crazy people still voluntarily want to be exposed to consumerist propaganda.

Most people, actually. Crazy, i agree.

Do you have a link to Pihole on router instructions?

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, the internet is so easy these days though

Amazing reply.

"PEOPLE SHOULD JUST DO THIS, IT'S EASY"

"Do you have a resource to help me with the easy thing?"

"NO FUCK OFF"

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's not what I said. I don't have the resources in front of me nor do I want to go find them again. In the time it took to make that comment you could just type into google and get the answer.

Most people, or we wouldn't be able to exist.

My primary media device is a PS4, so while a pihole might do something, I can't add anything to the device itself.

I just mute and look at Lemmy on my phone till I can skip the ad.

Ultimately you can still control your own perception, so that's good to mute and ignore if that's all you can do. Of course eventually they'll develop technology to not continue playing your show until they see your eyes are looking at the ad and it's unmuted, like in Black Mirror.
