Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat 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 PostageSome 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.

Tomatoes used to taste good. Nowadays you have to buy heirloom or import good ones to know what tomato flavour is, if you're in America.

A more fun fact: my wife will not want ketchup if there's a slice of tomato on the burger. The two taste nothing alike, but it doesn't matter to her. Isn't that something?

if you're in America.

The problem isn't limited to America. I'm in Italy, where good tomatoes shouldn't be hard to find, and yet in the last years I've started paying much more attention when I buy them.

Well yeah, I've noticed a decrease in quality here too, unless I buy expensive or local grown.

It is if you're in America.

Shhhhh we only have fake sugar here and definitely not some of the nicest grocery stores and farmers markets filled to the brim year long with good produce. Don't let the yeruos in on the secret.

Yeah but what are you comparing them with?

You know, I thought my tastes had just changed because I used to love tomatoes, and now I usually take a pass outside of making sauces.
