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.

Okay... fine argument.
But... inexpensive?
Really?
They can be. Don't need to be expensive, and anyone with hands can work on them, even on the go. Parts readily available.
I spent 100 euros on my current bike
50 for a second-hand bike at the bike shop 50 for a cargo rack
My wife and I find bikes for free all the time, especially kid's bikes. People just leave them by their trash cans for pickup. Can't even sell them they're so common. Guy at the flea market gave her a nice purple adult bike last Saturday.
Same bikes from Walmart? Oh hell no.
If you're low on money just borrow one of the bikes that are meant for sharing. The ones without a lock at a station. Then leave it unlocked for the next person.
I got my bike used under 100euro - less than a 5th of it's original price ant it is a very good bike. Used usually is not so expensive. Unless you are going e-bike, cargo bike, family bike, trailer for a bike, or any specific type. These shits can go pretty much expensive even used. Not as expensive as a car, but still bit cost-y.
