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

btw fuck all these corporation social media accounts trying to be funny. Its become the norm by now, but fuck em all.
You can fuckm all by not buying anything they sell except what is necessary.
You can steal most of that.
Denying oneself even basic pleasures in some naive attempt to stick it to the man kind of falls flat on its fucking face when you realize that literally nothing you do as an individual will even be noticed by these behemoth conglomerates.
Boycotts don't do shit anymore. Look how long people have been pushing to boycott Nestle. Do you think Nestle cares? Do you think they even fucking notice? No, because the public doesn't really give a shit about unethical business practices.
So, while wallowing in a horrible pit of depression, you have to ask yourself: would you rather an extremely fleeting feeling of self-satisfaction by not buying a candy bar (a feeling that turns to ash the moment you examine your actual impact in the world), or would you rather just have the fucking candy bar?
More power to you if undeserved self-superiority is enough of a motivation to get you through the days. For me, it's an insult to myself.
This type of fatalism is part of the reason things are going to shit right now in the first place. Do you think Nestle has some magical power that makes them immune to boycotts? No. It's the majority people throwing their hands up and going "what I do doesn't matter anyway" that lets them get away with their bullshit.
Of course one person's small actions won't immediately change the world, but if everyone makes those little changes, big things do change.
Gotta kill the billionaires to change anything big though.
Also if individuals don’t make the leap of faith to pitch in on problems that are individually intractable we are completely fucked. It’s our only route. We created these problems through collective action and collective action is what it will take to stop this ball from rolling straight off the cliff.
That's a really long winged way to say, "I choose to be part of the problem."
And that's a really short way to say "I am completely ignorant to the scope of the problem, to the point where I can't even define what the problem is."
I agree with a lot of what you say here. But also, you can just not buy the candy bar because candy makes you fat, and then think "fuck you, Nestle". Win-win!
Dont be ascetic. Dont get caught in the bullshit capitalist trap.
The stolen candy bar tastes way better.
They have been trying to do that shit since the dawn of their existence.
