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.

if only people just... stopped giving them money. honestly. let these companies all die. too big to fail my ass..
I’ve been working on this for years but its fucking hard.
Not just because things like gardening and making your own bread takes effort to do and learn, but because TO DO THOSE THINGS YOU STILL NEED PRODUCTS.
AND THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT THE SEED COMPANY YOU WENT TO THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INDEPENDENT IS CONTRACTED BY FUCKING RAYTHEON OR SOME SHIT AND THE LOCALLY SOURCED BAKING SODA YOU BOUGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHAMPOO IS OWNED BY NESTLE AND THE DEER YOU BOW HUNTED WAS ACTUALLY BRED FOR HUNTING BY A BLACKWATER SUBSIDIARY AND EVERYTHING IS JUST OWNED BY LIKE 10 EVIL ASS COMPANIES!!
Which is why I truly think we are past the point where boycotts can be effective anymore.
On one hand, the choice to be ethical is seen by corporations as a meaningless consumer choice, like picking between two breakfast cereals; on the other hand it helps develop the mindset that will be needed to reform society as time goes on: Long-term thinking, collectivism. Yes it is hard to try to do the right thing when your actions have no perceivable impact.
Hey man, you might wanna read up on aquaponics systems.
Even if we somehow managed to launch a successful boycott champaign whats to stop them from just stealing tax money from the government?
