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.

I've been blocking ads for so long, I didn't even know what they look like nowadays. A buddy of mine started a YouTube stream on Discord's YouTube app recently and apparently, my ad blockers couldn't prevent ads from that application, so they popped up anyway.
And apparently, my first ad (of 2 ads) was a 3-hour infomercial about mental health care or something.
And apparently, ads were custom for each viewer.
So while my friend is streaming a video for our voice chat group to watch, I'm sitting here, letting a 3-hour infomercial play and getting confused at my friends' commentary on this supposed video.
I got about 10 minutes in before I noticed the "skip" button at the bottom of the screen. I wasn't really paying attention, but I noticed that my friends were laughing and commenting at weird places in the video and I was struggling to make sense of their discussion.
Who the hell posts a 3-hour ad before a YouTube video?!
Yeah, its so stupid. And Youtube wonders why people agressively ad block.
I forgrt the web even has ads most of the time.
I watched ads on YouTube for far longer than I had to, because at the time they weren't that bad and it kinda supported the creators... they showed me a single Prager U ad and that was the last YouTube ad I ever saw. Fuck em.
