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.

You don't know that. Literally, you don't. Nobody does. This might be your opinion and that's fine, but stating it as fact is disingenuous
I also don't know whether ghosts exist. Will you go to bat for them, too?
Pretending that consciousness is software because movies and videogames portrays it working like software is far more disingenuous, I'd say.
That depends on their definition of software. If software is partly defined as something we can create, and consciousness is something we can't even fully understand, let alone create, then they are correct.
You will never be able to make a perfect copy of the brain and anything less means you wouldn't be "you" anymore. Any of these schemes about copying the brain are moot because of that, I think.
Given advanced enough technology making a perfect scan on the brain seems perfectly duable, you're not breaking any laws of physic that I know off.
