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.

It'd be low lift and inconsequential to make a registration system filter email aliases. Not saying Netflix does, because I don't use that piece of shit. I'm just saying, don't become reliant on this.
I use this for gmail to filter out spam. I used it for Best Buy and it worked online but when the cashier asked me for my email address the system didn't allow + signs in the email field.
When the cashier asks for my email address, I reply "no".
I usually don't but I had Best Buy rewards. And I would rather give my email than my phone number.
I've personally found it more reliable to purchase a domain, use an email host, and then set up a catch-all. Then you can just use best.buy@dot.com, netflix@dot.com, and so forth on the fly.
And then if necessary to combat spam, just set a sieve filter to turn off the faucet on whatever email you need to.
Not everyone can host their thing though
I mean, of course. However, if you can, this is what I've found works really well.
Oh yeah, if you can than it's 10 time better
Great idea. I already have a domain and I pay for hosting and email already.
Doesn't work for every provider, but I know it works on Gmail.
Is this free month Netflix trial in the room with us right now??
Meme looks to be unfortunately somewhat out of date by now...
somewhat out of date by now
it seems so 😞
Sadly, a lot of email address fields know this trick and won’t let you use an alias like that.
