Low Effort Memes

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

They don't teach QC French in canadian schools tho. That's how the anglos get clocked so easily.
They may not now, but they did.
While I was in France I wanted to buy some chocolate, so I asked the desk clerk at the hotel where a convenience store was. He looked at me like I had two heads. So I asked where to buy chocolate, and he helped me. Later I looked it up - the word I knew for a convenience store is "depanneur", but apparently in continental French that's a mechanic.
Québécois : le dépanneur
Français de France^© : l'arabe du coin (typically, the ridiculously small and dense convenience stores that are pretty much always open have been run by people with Arab origins). Or we just call them "épicerie" if we don't want to sound casually racist
The clerk just told me where a Monoprix was nearby.
There actually was a nice épicerie owned and operated by an Arab guy called Mohamed near where I used to live, and he called it "Momoprix". It's still there but he got sued by monoprix so now I think it's "chez momo"
