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

I have never seen an internet group stand up for a member and actually improve their life, with real cash money, not just bullshit platitudes.

Your whole story is inspiring, shows how we can come together in support. I'm rethinking how impactful I can be in my local community, even on my street.

Black guy down the street, dumbest guy on the block, annoys most of us, was begging me to do something. He sensed that I could do something for all of us, make our lives better. LOL, wouldn't shut up about it last time he was over!

You story got me thinking, I should get off my ass and organize. If a handful of people throwing one, single, human being a few bucks can change his life, fuck am I doing? I'm unemployed, money is all but played out, but I have legs and a mouth.

That's what community is supposed to be, from what I understand. People helping each other. Can't say that I've ever really experience it until I've been here but... it definitely changed my life in a lot of ways. Not just being able to avoid homelessness. I know my levels of gratitude are staggering and don't plan on dropping anytime soon.

And hey... helping one person is always worth it right? Never know what could happen
