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.

These incidents are not uncommon, but they are not "frozen" accidents as in frozen = turned to ice. They are freezing accidents as in freezing = dying from cold.
Our heart stops at a body temperature of mid 20° C. At this temperature, our brain survives cardiac arrest for several hours instead of 6 min like at 37° C. That's why the window for reanimation is several hours when your freezing, and why surgeons uses artificial hypothermia during heart surgery, and why no one's dead until warm and dead.
If a body freezes < 0° C and needs to be actually thawed, the tissue is too damaged to recover.
