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.

"Probably one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in existence" is one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen. The human body is a ridiculously inefficient machine.
sort of the human body is pretty inefficient but a 20 mile bicycle ride can burn around 1000 calories while a gallon of fuel contains 31,000 calories.

I am not a chemical engineer so I am not sure how equivalent these two measurements are... I mean for starters I can eat 1000 calories... but I think if I tried to get 1000 calories by consuming gasoline; I would die.
That really would be efficient!
But I guess you actually meant to say kilo calories ;-)
This odd shortening of kilocalories to calories drives me mad every time. Like, we just ignore three orders of magnitude, adding massive confusion?
