Subreddit Rules
Keep It European
Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.
No Hate Speech or Bigotry
Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.
English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome
While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.
Be Kind and Constructive
Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

MODERATORS
Go and visit a German supermarket. When a new queue opens you will see grandma's running at speeds that would qualify them for an Olympic sprint race if they could keep it up for more than the distance to the next cashier. I am always amazed that nobody is tripping and hurting themselves in their panic to get to new cashier as quickly as possible.
In stark contrast to that, when the fire alarm goes off in the supermarket, they will calmly continue shopping as if nothing happened in the happy ignorance of the roof they are shopping under being of the same structural integrity as the frozen pizza sold underneath it: 12 Minutes at 220 degrees and it's done.
