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.

Back in my sys admin days a software packager couldn't get a packaged application to replicate to the distribution servers.
Knowing a few things, as all wizards do, I added a NSFW meme to the package. The package replicated to the distribution servers. Removing the meme breaks it.
I can still picture his expression of confusion, frustration and sheer bloody rage.

For those who really want to know, it was with SCCM 2012 and the package had been corrupted when doing the initial hash. A package will fail replicating to distribution points if the hash doesn't match, adding the image updated the hash while removing it reverted it to the broken state. Adding any file to the package will fix it, as will a version update to the software.Neat reveal of the magic trick. Makes sense and pretty simple, but sometimes it's the simple things right in front of us that are the hardest to see.
