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.

Being highly visible helps a lot, also in the UK we don't have high speed traffic in urban areas. Outside of urban areas there is usually some kind of bike path you can use unless you are using country lanes but in that case you get people walking in the road too.
I've lived a couple of years in Europe and spent time in the UK. I know what your reality is, you have probably never experienced mine. Visibility doesn't help when a large dump truck carrying 25 tons of gravel comes around the bend and physically can't stop in time, and there's incoming traffic in the other lane. I'm on the outskirts of a good size city. There are zero bike lanes outside the urban inner city. Absolutely no one walks or bikes these roads out where I am.
