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.

A philosopher is just a biologist who nutted.

Philosophers write all that fully intending to conclude that life has no meaning.

Now if you all don’t mind, I’m gonna take the other photo, retire to my quarters, and beat my dick until it calls the police.

Why? It will already have been beaten.

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

One hand has nail polish on and other doesn‘t. Weird.

Just one finger nail is visible for her left hand. May be just index finger paint has peeled off.

I do this regularly.
