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.

MODERATORS
The majority of employees are not high school kids, you're mindlessly repeating McD propaganda.
A minimum wage job was supposed to keep a family of four over the poverty line with one worker, according to the 1938 labor law.
We abandoned that with a long decline in wages since the 1970s.
We used to be able to support the "hash brown based economy" on far higher wages for most (adjusted for inflation and purchasing power). We still can... back in the day, a CEO would make 50x what a front-line worker would make, now 500x or even more, and there's an entire executive and stockholder class making a fortune.
Figure it out.
p.s. I had to pay rent and bills and buy food as a high school kid, but fuck me right.
