Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat 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 PostageSome 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.

Not that this really matters since this is a shitpost, but this is misinformation. Completely harmless misinformation, but still incorrect.

The coconut image does exist but it's not a JPG (it's a VTF), the game doesn't crash if you remove it, and the dev comment isn't real.

Transgirl Source Engine λ would never lie to me!

It is a fictional visualization of a real thing where complex systems often have functionality that fails if something isn't included even if it isn't used.

For example, if a game had a process for verifying the game assets were not altered by the user then removing those assets could break the check due to them not existing instead of just being altered if it wasn't written to handle the absence of the asset.

Fake but plausible and conveys the intended message to non-technical people.

Damn, if only this real thing you speak of had a single example that isn't total bullshit.
