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 told this story before but a lad I know was teaching himself French, and got to a natural ceiling where he really had to immerse himself in the culture and environment to really spread his language wings.
He did the odd weekend over the channel into France once or twice a year, but decided to watch French media in the interim - films; series; music etc.
He wanted to formalise his knowledge with a qualification, so booked himself an exam and did his oral exam with a video call to a French native.
She said "I can't fault your French, but you speak like a drug dealer from Paris"
High praise, if you ask me.
I’ve heard a similar story except it was japanese and the guy spoke like a yakuza
