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.

I can't believe more people have figured this out yet. The simple answer is: money. The REAL answer is that money itself is the dominant life form on our planet. Humans are powerless against anything that allows money to congregate and reproduce. Billionaires are quite literally the reproductive organs of the money demon that rules us. Politicians are the brain. We (the tax paying citizens) are the food.
So why do we drive cars instead of riding bikes? Money wills it so.
Sure, that's why.
Let me hop on my bike for the 12-mile round trip to the nearest grocery store. No idea how I'm getting anything home though.
It's a quick trip out to our camp in the swamp, only 52-miles out and back, 3 miles of which are impassable on a bike. I'll just carry it over my head.
Then I'll make the quick 625-mile round trip to pick up my kids 4 times a year. Hope they got their own bikes!
"But if we all lived packed in like rats in arcologies, we wouldn't need cars!"
Have you ever been to the Netherlands? "packed in like rats in arcologies" certainly doesn't describe NL living conditions.
