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

They're not bugs they're crustaceans
So are pillbugs, but people don’t seem to be eating those (at least in the US)
How much meat can you get from a pillbug and how does it taste?
Depends on the species, some wood lice are up to 3.8cm in length!
They are edible, apparently, with a flavor similar to shrimp.
People do eat larger isopods, we don't eat pill bugs or silverfish because they're 90% shell by volume and taste bad.
I think people don't like bugs because you can't peel them like you can shrimp or crab.
Thankfully there are not many bugs big enough to peel and eat so it's not really a thing.
They're all arthropods though.
