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.

Fun fact: the m16 has a pew-pew-pew mode for three rounds, but ours accepted only 20- and 50-round mags. (If I remember right)

30 round banana mags became standard by the first gulf war and were certainly ubiquitous by the time of my pointless rotations hunting wmds. Very unfamiliar with 50 though. That like half a C mag?

The chuckle I always had was with the thought of the alpha 1s, fully auto, with the 20 round Vietnam mags. That musta been like the BAR in ww2.... and I'm reloading and I'm reloading...
