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.

Your experience is more realistic than the one in the post. EU citizens in EU countries "don't pay" for healthcare services because it's already paid through taxes, foreigners are supposed to be billed because they don't pay taxes in the EU. (it doesn't always happen tho, you know, administrative error, oops)
Not necessarily true for all foreigners. Australia has reciprocal healthcare agreements with many EU countries. That means if an Aussie visits those countries, healthcare is covered and the opposite is true as well. Whereas that wouldn't apply for a USian.
Well you don't pay for it but your country's mutual assistance fund does that for you. That's the same arrangement intra-EU.
As far as I'm aware, it's just a "we cover your citizens if you cover our citizens" sort of arrangement.
