Low Effort Memes
Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud

It is a coincidence, but it's an interesting one.
Pusillanimis comes from the Latin pusillus.
Pussy comes from Germanic puss, as in cat; both the insulting sense of the word and the slang for vagina
My understanding is Germanic Puss (as in cat) comes from the sound a cat makes when hissing, and over time "Pussy" means someone who is scared/angry
Thus the term "Scaredy-cat" as well.
My understanding is calling someone a pussy is literally just a more vulgar version of scaredy-cat, not a woman's vagina.
And calling someone a cat as a derogatory term way predates it as a term for vagina.
It's why we have words like "catty", in the 1600s "Puss" was a term for (primarily a woman) who was acting very sour / mean (like a cat)
Pussy as a term for a vagina came way after, when "Puss" started to become a term of endearment (and now we cringe at someone calling their SO "Kitten"), and then further on to become sexual in meaning.
