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.

Quick reminder that Islam doesn't have an anti science tradition. The fundamentalism goes back to contact with colonial Christians (not that all of Christianity is bad either)
I would say all religions are fundamentally anti-science given a core part is believing in something so improbable and childish with no scientific evidence.
Religion is always negotiable. Some have a "God of the gap" with a shrinking gap, others have an abstract understanding of God to a degree where it's unfalsifiable and therefore beyond scientific questions
Both are reached through faulty reasoning, and not a good thing for a scientist.
There are truth beyond scientific truth. Being aware of which is which is a good thing
Idk man even the most hardcore religious-studies teachers I had when I lived in Iraq were obsessed with promoting STEM fields.
Also certain apartments and such routinely gave "teacher benefits" in form of discounts like how some US veterans get.
Hell, Islam is the reason most of the knowledge from Roman or earlier times survived. While Christians were regressing in intellectualism, Islam was thriving.
Still, I would argue, to an extent, all religion is anti intellectual. They have some pieces that you aren't allowed to question. That limits the scope of research.
