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.

And assuming they work the same is insane. Geospatial systems map geographic position in space.

Of course more digits means more precise location in space!

"I wonder if..." isn't exactly an assumption lol

I'm looking it up and found this

IPv6 Geolocation: IPv6, each device can have a unique IP address, allowing for more precise geolocation. This is a significant leap from IPv4, where multiple devices might share a single IP, leading to less accurate location data.

Also found another source that claims ipv6 geolocation is not yet as precise as ipv4 in practice.

Like IPv4, IPv6 does have geolocation data, although it has yet to be as precise as IPv4 geolocation
