All posts must be MEMES and be about Economics.

It can be hard to define what is and isn’t a meme. In an effort to give some guidance I will say that “A meme is a joke wearing another joke as a hat.” So if there’s a question as to whether something is a meme that’s what we’ll use.

Don't repost. Click for details on how to report a repost.

If you suspect a reposted meme know that the mods don't have a photographic memory, if you can find the original post, drop that in the comments before reporting. If you can't find it yourself you can try using "u/repostsleuthbot" but it doesn't work very well. If the mods see a post they know is a repost they will remove that but we can't believe all reports cause some try to abuse the system to remove memes they disagree with or memes posted by people that have some personal vendetta with.

Crop excessive blank space off of your images.

The post itself must be a meme. Titles are not taken into consideration.

AI generated images and text are not a meme. Click for details on using AI.

You can use an AI image as an ingredient in a meme, but "I gave AI an econ prompt" is not a meme on its own. AI text alone is not a meme, if the post is mostly AI text it's probably not a meme even if you added some visuals.

If your meme is more of a partisan political stance than an Econ joke, it will be removed.
