A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

What’s the deal with swans? I’ve heard of angry geese, I’ve even known a few people who received injuries from one, but not swans.

My understanding is that swans are basically just geese with good PR.

Survivor bias. Those attacked by swans don't live to tell the tale.

Take a stroll near a nesting swan and let me know how it goes for you…they may be pretty, but they are extremely defensive birds

They're basically much bigger geese

So was my rooster but he was cool. Granted, they can be awful.
