Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

Is running from a bear a good strategy? I'm no expert, but they seem a lot faster.

Just have to be faster than one other person.

I had not considered the possibility that the bear was more horny than hungry.

In that case it would have been posted by Violet08.

No expert either but I wondered the same. I heard that running will trigger their hunting behaviour, because running is associated with fleeing pray. But on the other hand, if the bear already decided to charge them anyways, what else is there to do?

If you're in close proximity of an aggressive bear, you have already missed all the good strategies. Why start then?
