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.

Whoa, Battlebots is still a thing? I remember when they had a show on Comedy Central in maybe the late 90s or early aughts?
You can't stop ppl from craving robot carnage. They'd do it even without the cameras in some backyard, if they must 😆
I watched that show on PBS good times.
ONE of those?
Bro if this shows up imma use all my fridge magnets on this mfers… like pocket magnet on those fool!
Tear apart your microwave, turn the magnetron into a short range EM ray gun, would probably fuck up their hardware.
I mean uh... don't actually do that, without a trained electrical engineer advising you, or you'll maybe fuck up your own internals, those of anyone near you, and/or electrocute yourself, and/or blow out your circuit breakers.
.45 ACP will work just fine on all of them.
It also works on you.
Game on, then, I guess. I'd rather hunt robots than men, though if it gets that bad what has to be done has to be done.
just leaked: the ultimate shared surpressed freudian drive of all lemmy techie nerds
And there have been experiments with mounting automatically controlled guns on these things since before Boston Dynamics had "consumer" models.
Or 5.56, or a shotgun slug.
Aim for their 'faces', with the roll cages.
That's where they've got their fancy spinning multi spectral cameras.
Hell, its possible even paintballs all over that area would successfully blind them.
Failing that: Throw a crabbing net on them.
