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.

People do this in an attempt to minimize their footprints on the freshly mopped floor, either by walking on their toes or dramatically spacing out their steps. This comes at a risk of slipping though so people use their arms and body to help maintain stability to avoid a fall which results in the "lava walk"

I alwaya walk on the edges of freshly mopped stairs. I never considered how ridiculous I looked until the janitor laughed.

Yeah, you're not doing it to let them know, you're doing it to minimise floor contact. What is this?

I think I've said sorry if there's someone mopping, but I still do the funny walk if no one is there but I can see the floor is still wet. The funny walk is absolutely to avoid mussing up the floor again. idk, this post seems like the "why are people tapping eggs at the supermarket" type post

EDIT: Sorry, I'm being rather grouchy.

Apparently I'm one of today's lucky 10,000. Care to elaborate?

You wouldn't do it if nobody was there

This doesn't make sense to me. If the wet is lava, and you step on the wet, you have stepped in lava. You should be screaming as your body dissolves and sinks into the floor. Maintain eye contact with the cleaner if you want more respect for doing so.

Stares deep into the cleaner's soul while dragging their mud filled shoes over the freshly cleaned floor

people should moonwalk instead

I just alter the gravitational constant and float above freshly mopped floors.
