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

A good or fun pair of socks.

  • Genderless
  • Inexpensive
  • Practical
  • One can never have too many socks

All I want for Christmas is 10TB SSDs. The more the merrier.

They forgot flashlights and jerky.

I have such a hard time buying for people and being bought for. I mean I appreciate anything I get because it IS really the thought that matters to me, but...Like, if I want something, I'll just buy it. If I haven't bought it already, it's too expensive to get for me as a gift.

NGL I kinda want to experience knife flavoured whiskey from a flannel flask after reading that. Sounds interesting.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

It's got a strong bite, with notes of oak and copper.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago

What I really, actually want for Christmas is time free from worries.

But I have responsibilities so I can’t ever have that again.

So I guess some underwear would be nice.

He doesn’t need razors.

He doesn’t need tools.

He doesn’t need fucking camping gear or alcohol!

And my mom doesn’t need bath products, mugs, or jewelry.

Anything else that doesn’t cost $500+, please, I’m begging you 😭(@guide writers, not OP)

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Jam. Make some Jam. Everyone needs jam. Put vodka in the jam so it's fancy.

Everyone gets some apple butter and everyone will enjoy it or else!

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm part of everyone! Send me apple butter! (Please)

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I would if the entire batch I just made wasn't already claimed!

  • Poem written by you of favorite memories
  • Collect favorite photos and get then printed into a book
  • Cook them a tasty special meal
  • Take them out to a special favorite restaurant

If you don’t spend $500 or more then you automatically dishonour your family in the eyes of capitalism.

Cheap gifts make Jeff bezos cry. Is that what you want? To make baby Jeff cry?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Tears of joy, maybe. Cheap gifts are part of Amazon's lifeblood. It's certainly not the first place most people think of when seeking out something $500+.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

These are legitimately awesome ideas. Thank you so much! /gen

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

If you can paint -at all- like it doesn’t even have to be that good, paint a flower pot with pictures of old pets who have died over the years, plant something super easy to keep alive, like an aloe or snake plant, and write them something about your shared memories. Include the pics you used for the painting so they can reminisce with you.

This was a big win for me.

[–] Fermion@mander.xyz 5 points 5 hours ago

Bucket style towel warmer for both/either. I can't believe they aren't standard in hotels at this point.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

He needs a $550 Shinola clock with the $80 stand. So he can tell time REAL FUCKIN HARD

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, a knife is a great gift. I wouldn't recommend storing one in whiskey though.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

What if the knife stored wiskey?

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

One knife is a great gift so make it count. I own one nice knife made by a blacksmith in California. That knife is my camping and anything-outdoors knife. It will undoubtedly outlast me and be handed down.

@LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone A case of 9mm always works.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Woah, 50! What a steel!

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I think that's mostly just in Texas.

I'll take the Knife Flavored Whiskey. Don't think I've had that one before.

Edit: I was wrong! Apparently Montana and Wyoming like guns more.
