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

Nope. Not falling for it. NOT FALLING FOR IT.
This leads very quickly down a rabbit hole on what precisely counts as a "door" or a "wheel."
I say wheels.
Because of Lego.
Any pulley or sprocket is arguably a wheel.
What about gears?
Gears are just wheels with teeth. They absolutely count.
Just because they are round doesn't make them a wheel. Now if we count the individual balls in a ball bearing as wheels then wheels win hands down
They turn on axles, which ball (or needle/roller) bearings do not.
You are correct, even though a great sounds on an axis I still have a hard time thinking of that as a wheel
Isn't LEGO the largest manufacturer of tires in the world?
Searching the definition of a door at 2 am, befire i start checking average production data for home appliances like toaster ovens, air fryers, microwave ovens, etc. Fridges have doors. Doors have doors. Dog doors. A door can have two doors. A dog door and a spyhole door.
Yeah no. Too broad
It gets so much worse than that. Is an electrical switch a door? It's a straight bit that bridges a gap and rotates on a hinge. How about gears? Do gears count as wheels? They're round, they spin, and they apply mechanical forces on their perimeter.
You can actually attempt to answer a question like, "are there more dogs or cats?" because dog and cat are relatively specific. You might quibble whatever wolves or lions count, but adding wild animals to the numbers won't change the math much. But door or wheel? Those are objects much harder to pin down.
Taxonomy is what’s the difference here, but doing taxonomy on “everything” is basically inventing language and conversation
Does a saloon door count as two doors?
Obviously . Does a saloon door, that has its hinges left, only count as a door, though? Two doors?
It's too late. It's already a lost cause...
is a wheel a sammich?
Is a rotating 'door' actually a wheel because it spins?
What about revolving doors
Is a doorway a door? Is a defunked door without a doorway (like I just took off my storm door and its propped against my house) still a door?
Okay but... are we counting doorways as doors? Or just doors themselves?
