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.

Your biggest issue with tech, even if you know how to make it, is getting the materials.
which is why you should learn about medieval technology, that's something you can generally make from scratch with a team of workers.
Yeah if you only have stone tools it'll probably be shitty, but a shitty waterwheel that spins a shitty lathe is still plenty useful. It's kind of nuts how much luxury you can get in no time at all if you just know what's possible to make.
Use shitty waterwheel to make less shitty waterwheel
Chalk burning and stuff?
Everyone tends to forget the tools to make the tools to make the tools to make tools precise enough for half the shit we make. Or consistent enough. There's alot of steps between sticks stones and fire to pretty much anything today.
Sure you don't need an industrial revolution for ALOT of stuff. But hot damn are you gonna run into issues without it, eventually
