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.

You can get a new 125cc motorbike for that.
Which has all the ongoing expenses and limitations of a road vehicle. The point of ditching a car is to get rid of the debt trap, infrastructure, and experience of using it. My coworker's moped might be more powerful than my bike, but I can ride anywhere more or less silently while she's stuck in traffic breathing exhaust fumes as the smallest thing on the road.
Anyone and their dog can keep a Honda running. You spend 3USD replacing the oil every 1500 km or so, 2 on brake shoes, <50USD tires if you want the good one. It gets 170 mpg. 10 years operating expenses still doesn't touch $1500.
Electrics exist, center-engine, chain drive ones can be quite nice, if a bit boring.
Filter to the front at lights, split if traffic permits.
