Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

A thumbs down is so much better as a reaction to a shit driver than a middle finger. One just says, "Hey fuck you", while the other says, "I am disappointed in you"

I posted the following in another thread but this is what I do:

I'm a tiny woman who isn't starting road rage, so what I do is just make the other person concerned. I've done this as a pedestrian and a driver.

It's really easy, as a pedestrian walking past, pause slightly and drop your eyes to their front grill, tilt your head slightly and grimace. If in the car, point and sit up in your seat like you're trying to get a better view of their car and do the same face. Look alarmed even.

I've seen multiple drivers pull over to check out their cars. At the very least it makes them take time out of their day for no reason - and inconveniencing dickheads is always fun - but given we're in Australia, their imagination can take them to all kinds of places. What did she see? Is it still there? Is it in my car now?????

Similar to the pretending to step over something prank, but this makes the person worry about what's wrong with their car all day. Far more effective.

I love this so much, I'm stealing this idea. Thank you!

Entirely off topic.

I have no idea why but I got seriously intense deja vous reading this comment. I’m pretty sure I’ve never read this actual comment before, though.

Do you write like this a lot? Maybe I’ve come across you before.

I did copy it from another thread I'd written it in?

I've been told I write how I speak (writing's my job) so I guess that hints at a somewhat distinctive way of writing? so you may have seen me about the place?
