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

Lol I haven't had a vehicle that hasn't had the check engine light on in twenty years, it's usually something like an evap leak that's pretty safe to ignore. But yeah, a code reader is a good call, you can get Bluetooth ones that send a readout to your phone, so you can ignore it and hope for the best, but in style.
This was the code causing my check engine light to go off, replaced the evap canister but the light stayed on. Went away after I got the battery replaced for unrelated reasons, so I would have saved some time and money if I had ignored it instead of bothering trying to fix it.
While disconnecting the battery for a while can sometimes clear out the codes, evap lights usually won't clear themselves after the issue is fixed for usually 100 or so miles and a certain number of engine on\off cycles.
