Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud

Nice!
Just FYI CELs (Check Engine Lights) are (almost) always emissions related… not that that matters much anymore, they can still trigger “limp mode” in some cases, causing your car to run poorly… but most of the time, it’s something you can safely push out a month or two.
And depending on your state/counties particular laws, possibly indefinitely. Not that you should, but mechanics are expensive and most folks don’t have a few K just stuffed under the mattress these days 😌
Yeah, a check engine light could be an emissions issue or simply a frayed sensor wire. However, it could be catastrophic and end up requiring an engine replacement. As a mechanic, I'd recommend taking the car to the nearest automotive parts store and asking them to check for codes, which they often can do for free or a small fee. Codes will indicate the type of problem and the severity, which you can then take to a mechanic. Avoid paying an $800 fix now could lead to a $17,000 transmission replacement later.
