Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

The US flag always looks like it's for clowns when put against other flags. Americans prob don't see it because they're used to it, but it's got all the hallmarks. Uncle Sam always looked like a Ronald McDonald for kids of drafting age and up.
Meanwhile, China should go back to the Qing flags; dope af—no pun intended. The new one with the sun up the top left is alright, but very boring.
I dunno who these guys on the bottom-left are. Placeholder graphic?
May I present the flag of the British Indian Ocean Territory
Looks like something out of an 8 bit video game and not on a good way.
I mean... Yeah?
This is just a difference in appreciation for cultural styles, not a particularly cutting observation. The US has used the stars & bars bunting for circus performances and celebrations for literal centuries. The uncle sam stiltwalker is a deeply iconic image in american culture for a very good reason, after all.
Yeah we're loud, obnoxious, and showy with a strong tradition of carny bullshit in every aspect of our culture. Motherfucker we brought carny bullshit into religion then exported it back to the carnival. You're in the deep south and see a big tent filled with people, dangerous animals, and a man shouting that could be a circus or it could be a pentecostal religious service. Or fuck maybe its a doctor doing a medical show, idk those could easily be happening again.
