Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat 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 PostageSome 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 cut a potato in half, press wet side against your temples, it will suck the depression out of you

That doesn't make sense......the Irish are still PLENTY depressed. It's why they drink so much.

Nah they're not depressed, they're just melancholic. That's when you combine all the root causes for depression with a dose of good folk music.

The irish did have a really bad time when they had a lack of potatoes

but they then eat the depression potatoes which reinstills and spreads the depression to all those who eat it.

they should be drinking potatoes instead of barley

[–] WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

If that were true, then why do I have so much depression despite having zero Irish heritage?

Hmmmmmm. No idea.....

Yeah, no clue man. Earth is a perfect utopia.

No reason for anyone, anywhere, to complain about anything. No reason to be sad. None at all. Nothing wrong on this planet.

.........how long do I have to keep the bit up to convey sarcasm through text?
