Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat 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 PostageSome 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.

The comments on that post… Jesus Christ.

The most entertaining part is how confidently they say shit that is objectively wrong.

“It’s just a paint ball gun”: no, it isn’t. The drum magazine pretty clearly marks it as a canister launcher of some kind. Have you never seen a paint ball gun hopper?

“It’s non lethal”: no, it isn’t. We don’t even use that term in general anymore because people keep getting killed by “non-lethal” weapons.

“[some racist bullshit]”: fuck you.

Worse, even if they were right, they're still wrong.

You can't legally shoot someone who is just standing there doing nothing wrong, even with paintballs or non-lethal weapons.

If you pointed a paintball gun at somebody IRL, and when questioned by the cops, you said it was just a paintball gun, that would not be exculpatory. It would be a confession.

Even more wrong, because the person is not just standing there - they're in a fucking car which moving. Imagine the consequences of shooting tear gas into a moving car....

If the person is in a moving car then they should straight up not be filming, unless they are in the back seat of the driver's side. Either way, shooting a tear gas canister into a car would be incredibly dangerous.

Heck, even splashing a drink on someone can be considered assault

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You'll often pick up an assault charge if you spit on a cop, or so i've heard.

Exactly, definitely not a paintball gun. 3000psi, 15 round magazine. Five different types of fin-stabilised ammo available.

You weren't kidding. The first couple were in her defense. Then the Twitter armada shows up with PFP's exactly like you'd expect.
