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've spent more than ten years of my life studying this as my profession. I'm not trying to prove that I'm right here - that was never in question - I'm trying to use my knowledge to help you understand why you're wrong, if you'll let me.

I recommend that you read my giant wall of text if you're at all interested in looking at language from a scientific perspective, and I'm happy to answer any further questions you have.

Also, I address "all words are English now" above if you're interested.
