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 . . . good?
Technology removed inefficiencies so that later generations could devote their time and pursuits to other options instead.
Chat is progress good actually?
Be careful equating efficiency with progress, as everything you like about your life is ultimately inefficient.
Oooh. Nice.
Automation is great. We just need to collectively own it.
Yeah our factory bread doesn’t even count as bread in France. It’s been modified to allow machines to make it, by adding tons of chemicals that make it withstand kneading faster, baking quicker lasting on the shelf for months and a bunch of other factors that only increase profits for few remaining big corps that own it all.
Fuck factory breads, we could do it with smaller bakeries with wheat, water, yeast, sugar, and salt if we wanted to pay for it.
Let AI replace middle Managment and give us all UBI and see how many of us would like to make our own bread.
I agree but I'll leave the bread making to someone else. There isn't a dough in the world that doesn't hate me. Luckily my gf is good with baking tho so we've still got it covered
somewhat
local bakeries making good product closing down because they're undercut by the giant chain store across the street selling shitty loafs at a loss is a bad thing, because it removes competition and then the corporate bakery can jack up prices on a shittier product because that's all that's left
the automation itself isn't bad, once again, it's the tool in the hands of a corporation that isn't regulated well enough
Only until it decides you an inefficiency to be removed.
No because the people saw none of the benefits. It was hoarded by the billionaires.
We all work longer hours than our grandparents, we get less pay, and fewer of us sleep inside.
This is your 'progress'.
Only killing our masters would allow progress to anything I'll ever want.
Quick! Raise both arms. Dial 9.1.1 and tell them you've had a stroke.
It can only good happen!
