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.

It is possible. You're just american. Growing up in a Swedish suburb at least two families in my area used almost exclusively bikes, walking or buses for transportation. Now I have my own family, and no plan on buying a car (sold mine years ago and never missed it). With the prices of cargobikes (that you can load up with 2-4 kids or lots of cargo) coming down every year and electric bikes being better than ever, there's never been a better time to start pedalling.
Do I still drive? Yeah, sometimes. I rent a car/van when I need it.
I understand that american suburbs are often not suburbs at all, more like rural housing developments, without stores or infrastructure to support those developments. So the distances could be an issue for some. That's something you'll have to take up with your local politicians, if you dare go outside that is.
