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'm pissed at that the word barista exists. In Spanish we have one word and we don't care if you are serving food at tables, beers behind the bar or coffees behind of another bar similar to the previous one.

We do have the word barista in spanish.

It's not exactly the same as camarero, it's more focused on the coffee part. Same as we also have the word barman, which differs from camarero in that it normally refers to people who mix drinks and cocktails behind the bar.

Sure we do, now from American influence. Try to find it in a dictionary from 10-15 years ago.

For barman, when was the last time you used it in a conversation? I've only heard it used by tourists.

I'm not sure.

I don't know if it is a language or cultural thing. This obsession in making distinctions for the sake of having them. I'm a fancy bartender so I'll call myself a barista, that's just bartender in Italian.
