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.

The term “life” according to NASA is a system capable of Darwinian evolution. That definition is only possible if there is some form of reproduction involved. So in a way, the term “life” kinda literally means sex.
Considering Aristotle’s stance that the purpose of a thing was the same as what it is meant to do (e.g. an antique violin should belong to a musician not a museum because the purpose/definition of an instrument is to be played), life being defined by sex would make sex the philosophical purpose of life.

Fine, replace the word “sex” with “reproduction” and it still works

When you least expect it, BAM- surprise sex pilus, and now you're a redhead
