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.

I've only seen someone try to cycle on the roads around me twice in almost 20 yrs living here, and both times there was a line of cars a mile long waiting their turn to get around him. He was lucky he didn't die.
I also know several people who live in actually-bikable areas not too far from me who have taken out loans to buy bikes. It's not difficult to spend $3k, you can well upwards of $10k if you want high end. But yeah you can still buy a piece of garbage from Walmart for $250.
I cycle in the middle of the road any time there isn't a suitable bike lane, cars will have to wait their turn and then I overtake all of them at the next set of traffic lights.
