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.

Yeah, pretty much. Generally the breaker will trip before the romex in the walls overheats, but if you plug in an electrical bottleneck that isn't rated to what the breaker is it can fail and start a fire without the breaker ever being the wiser. An example is those ass multi-outlet extension cables made with lamp wire, some of those only do 10 amps or less before the wire starts glowing red hot.
