For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Posts and comments that are hateful, trolling, inciting, and/or overly negative will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

Have fun!

Fun fact, in the US you can slander corporations, here in Finland (and prolly others in EU idk), you can't, because corporations don't have the same right as people and thus don't have an honour in the same way a natural person does, and thus you can't libel or slander a corporation.

So I can talk all the shit I want of Coke, Facebook, Shell whatever, calling them immoral greedy pedophiles or whatever if I want to, but I couldn't argue that directly of the natural people who are employed by the company.

Probably not as simple as I make it. Further elaboration on:

Anyway just wanted to point out "slander" and "libel" are subjective in the sense of there being so many different legislative frameworks
