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.

Can't decide which group has shittier pickups
Christian nationalist for sure. So many perfectly fine trucks that have been lifted, or otherwise modified to be less useful.
The Taliban uses a lot of Toyotas, and they're all for off roading in the desert. No pavement princesses.
In that area the maple leaf is considered a sign of quality due to the Toyota Hilux. People will literally tattoo them on themselves. There are a lot of fake Hiluxes which aren't as good, but at some point Canada sent a bunch of good ones as foreign aid, and they all had Canadian flags on the tailgate. So now they like anything with a Canadian flag on it.

I have an opinion that Toyota should use the insurgencies for advertising. There's no better ad for a truck than them being used for rugged reliable transport in a war zone. You don't see them driving Ford f150s, because they don't actually make sense for a utility vehicle. Meanwhile there are little Toyotas with BMP canons strapped onto them driving around.
Some people might say it's bad taste. I'd disagree. If Dodge can use the American revolution for advertising, is that any better than insurgents in the Middle East or Africa?
Worked for VW and Benz, they are still around.
