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.

No energy? Do you understand the laws of thermodynamics?
Strawman. Yes, liquid nitrogen requires energy to create. Cryonics facilities do not usually generate it but instead buy it, it's very inexpensive. They have perpetual funds which the first failed Cryonics attempts did not. They do not cool refrigerant via electricity on site. I abbreviated this explanation because I thought it was obvious but apparently not. My point is the entire structure of modern Cryonics is not anything like what the article depicts, it's a strawman talking about 50 years ago.
Curious to know your background in thermodynamics, my education puts me in a good place, maybe top 1% for the "laws of thermodynamics" specifically.
Now I don't question your ability to understand thermodynamics. But I am super curious what your reading comprehension scores were in school? There are always areas we can continue to improve, you know.
I’ll place my entire life’s savings on them not
Probably a good bet. Cryonicists place the chance of success at ~1% usually.
No, they understand the future, which is better. .ayve get on board, stupid Luddite.
They're taking a crapshoot chance more likely.
