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

I have home ibuprofen because I got a prescription for it last time I had COVID with fever and only took a single pill or so, so the remainder of that pack sits at home in a drawer, possibly expired.
Currently on vacation, didn't take any medication with me.
If the need for pain medication is so high that you need to plan around it, I can only above to seek for changes in your lifestyle (though I do know that for some it's not possible). Pain is usually just the symptom of an underlying cause that needs addressing. And that is often possible even when you're old enough to have listened to Spice Girls.
This is a naive and privileged view.
CDC says 25% of adults have chronic pain: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db518.htm
Just change your life. Don't do hard physical labor. Don't get a desk job. Don't engage in risky behaviors. Don't get into a car accident. Don't get arthritis. Don't get cancer. Don't have operations. Just address it, right?
The flip side of your coin is most everybody that's in pain deserves it since they could theoretically prevent it and thus are choosing it.
This kind of thinking, that a person is responsible for their own health, able to control it, and has a responsibility to be healthy, is essentially a right wing talking point. There is a wellness to right wing pipeline and there's been quite a bit written about it, especially regarding the pandemic, that you might check out.
Health is fragile and temporary. Those that don't have it are not moral failures. You don't get to tell them they're not trying hard enough.
Thank you for saying this, based comment.
