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.

What I consciousness though?
It's clearly not hardware, if either an emulated brain can be conscious or just pretends to do so is impossible to prove or disprove.
It's organic.
The point is moot - the consciousness of the frozen billionaire is non-existent in either case.
Why? Why could there not be a non-organic consciousness?
There maybe could, but it would be a different one from the person. A second consciousness that was copied.
To my knowledge we are nowhere close to being able to actually transfer a consciousness
Of course we aren't close. But the above poster was making a categorical statement that consciousness must be biological.
The premise behind the videogame SOMA.
Exactly! One of my favorite game stories to date.
