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.

Well, how do you native speakers think learning English is done?
I tell you:
You pick some English media you like, listen to it, slip into the roles you like most and emulate those.
And, yes, one of those roles has been Peter Griffin for me.
But as a Star Trek Fan, most of my imitated manners of speaking have been taken from some ST series. So sometimes I speak like Captain Picard or Garak from DS9.
Oh, and also: Friends. Learned a lot from that and often imitated especially Chandler...
Please, please go for more Chandler and Picard and Garak than Peter Griffin.
Nearly everyone hates nasaly accents.
Also, maybe if you want a bit of a mindfuck:
Played Fallout New Vegas?
You know that two-timing fink, Benny?
That real motherless sonofabitch, who'd sell his own grandma to the Khans if it could make him some caps?
That's Chandler.
Same (voice) actor.
RIP Matthew Perry.
hoping you skipped his laugh
