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

You spent 16 years learning how to do a thing correctly, why doing things correctly is important, and who you need to work with in order to succeed at a large scale project.
Then some asshole who didn't spend 16 years learning to do the thing decided to replace you with a chatbot that tells them "Great Idea! Ignoring OSHA standards will save a lot of money. Reducing the amount of concrete in the structure is actually climate friendly. And don't worry, jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Let me produce a schematic you can use to build this in half the time."
Some folks will despair, because they see this economic sea change hurts their short term economic prospects. Other folks will despair, because they aren't sure whether the next building they step into is going to collapse on their heads after a strong wind hits it.
Really wondering how long we've got before Copilot in Excel causes some major accounting errors.
At some point, if you're not trapping for errors in your Excel spreadsheet already, copilot isn't going to make a huge difference.
