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

What language doesn't match this description? People keep saying this like english is more built out of other languages than the others and, like, how do you think other languages are made? Do you expect someone to just suddenly come up with "anireslurp" for "table" and everyone in the country just uses it?
While loanwords are probably a thing in any language, there are definitely languages that seem to be a bit stricter with grammar, I think? I'd say German is an example.
Japanese is crazy with loanwords though. They steal them and if that's not enough they put the japanizing bean on it, so air conditioning becomes エアコン (romanization of that word again is eakon)
The Japanese word for television is television.
I think it's テレビ(terebi) but that's probably what you meant.
