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.

Yeah, honestly the "just get a bike" rhetoric is general pretty ablist.
Everything is ableist if you think about it enough. "Just get a car rhetoric" is ableist against blind people. Even "just take public transit" is ableist against immunocompromised people.
A society should make accommodations for those with special needs, but we don't have to give those accommodations to everyone who asks. Some people will need a car, that doesn't mean your average able bodied person should be driving one, and most of the "just take a bike" rehtoric is directed towards those people.
If everyone except for those with disabilities switched to public transport, bikes, it'd be a massive improvement.
I don't think anyone wants to outlaw motor transport, especially for those without other options.
