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 mean. The Americans crowing like you're describing (I've known many) treat cities like literal warzones and would absolutely not, in almost any scenario I can imagine, use public transit.
They are so scared, all the time, of the most normal stuff.
But also they somehow think people who live in cities, and who de facto navigate the supposed hellscape daily, are generally both foolish and weak. It's an amazing knot of terminally unresolved internal tension, just like so much else of their neurotic (often at best) behavior.
(To be fair getting stabbed to death by a random stranger is not normal stuff so their fear has a basis this time I guess, congrats, deeply broken clocks)
