      I was actually sleeping there…sometimes on the keyboard, when compiling a kernel took to long for young me to stay awake

      The more time you spend in there, the more you become the computer

      They should be nailed to the wall, as is proper. I resent people being able to ring my mp3 player/satnav

        Our city used to have these small glass rooms with a single phone inside on street corners.

          So you’d have to have an income to match an entire city’s budget? Definitely for the rich!

    But it does still live in its own room!

    I’m just in there more often now.

    To be fair, you don’t have to buy a laptop or treat it as being mobile.

    No they weren’t.

    They were bad in ways we could never remember and better in ways we could not fathom.

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
