Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

At this point in lore, it's not actually an empire, it's a republic and they didn't have an army at all. They had to make one from scratch in a short period of time. Luckily due to some other fuckery, a cloning project was set up to make a clone army. The numbers are stupidly low, like only 3 million CONFIRMED, but with certain phrases and lines it could potentially have been billions. At any rate, a big limiting factor was cost. But when you desperately need an army and you don't have even the training framework of one? Print those bad boys.
