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

They wore high-vis vests, which is enough to fool like 90% of people.

If they were carrying clipboards and a folding ladder that would account for another 9%.

Or a toolbox. Toolboxes make you invisible.

Dont forget the hard hat! Its a camo cap for super stealth missions

And safety cones, or witches hats.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They had a ladder truck, same-same.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They even put traffic cones around the ladder truck!

Of course I would have let them do whatever they want around the museum.

Probably parked it with more consideration than most utility workers.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Exuding a sense of purpose and confidence while wearing a tool belt gets you into anywhere.

I'm honestly just thinking like "damn, crime really is as easy as I thought it was? You really can just do a basic ass disguise?"

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Payday 2 stealth type shit.

[–] brachypelmide@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

"Can the Louvre heist be ECM rushed?"

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For me its both but im of the "IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!" categorie

But its also really impressive

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

It belongs in a museum. Otherwise...

*Indy tune is starting*

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I momentarily forgot the Indy theme and heard the A-team instead.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I love it when a whip comes together.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Till my dying days i belief that indie got me into archeologie and history and cultures due to some "wooow he is so cool!" Impact he had on me when i was a little kid

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How many of us are waiting for the movie?

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

I really want George Clooney in it

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah except they dropped Empress Josephine's crown in the street.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's the Louvre... They average six robberies a year.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago

Turns out there are many reasons to not cheap out on staff. Especially if want them to care enough to prevent something like this

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Oh but when the British do this, everyone gets all up in arms over it.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

I think I'm in a different crowd because the (very little) discussion I've seen about it has been 100% "oh this thing hpapened"

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

90% is just bigots being mad at (insert group they hate the most) in my experience
