Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

The funniest announcement in my railway station has been: "The train xxxxx coming from y and directed to z has been canceled because someone stole the electrical cables on the line".

Funny only since it wasn't my train.

A few years ago in Paris I was waiting for my train to Marseille and the announcer was rambling about our destination like he were paid to advertise it. "Marseille ! its cicadas ! its legendary sunny weather ! the smiles on people's faces !" after a while he seemed to run out of things to list so he went on with random stuff "its horses ! the ladies' perfume !" I had a good laugh

Remind me of a time where the announcer called the three-car train arriving 'petite'.

For anyone wondering like me:

A Tannoy is a system of loudspeakers used to make public announcements, for example at a fair or at a sports stadium. [British, trademark]regional note: in AM, use public address system.

I definitely googled it before coming to the contents. You're awesome.

No, but I learnt to speak in the Tannoyese dialect when I did some work over on the Tannoy Islands a few years back.

It's technically a form of English, though as one of the more isolated former colonies, the "patois" has become quite difficult to understand - which is quite amusing, given the Tannoy Islanders' tendency to apply to jobs which involve amplified public speaking.

I’m surprised his bosses allow it. It seems that everyone is expected to act like a robot in their jobs.

Once at, it was either Oxford Circus or Piccadilly, the announcer was doing the announcements in a Dalek voice. "Be careful on the escalaaaaator!"
