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.

A toothpick or a needle work very well
A "raw" staple can also be good, though sometimes you need more than one
The best I found was a plastic tooth flossing pick. Use the pointy side. It's non conductive to prevent shorting of pins.
i like to snap the toothpick so it splits on an angle. that way it's narrower and the jagged edges grab onto the dust and crap
Needles are much better for this, with toothpicks you might damage the sides or leave splinters behind in the port.
Those plastic fishbone toothpicks works wonders for anything small and electronic.
