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.

Minecraft was always for kids. But they're right that kids weren't playing it at the very beginning. The alpha was $10 and you paid Notch directly

What do you mean it was always for kids? It's for everyone. Fuck Notch, though. What a piece of shit he is.

He is? The only things I know about him are that he made Minecraft and doesn't like mechanical keyboards. What did he do that makes you hate him?

When he sold Minecraft to Microsoft he became a billionaire, quickly lost touch of reality, and fell down the right-wing pipeline to become a total shithead. He kept posting homophobic comments on Twitter, called for a heterosexual pride parade and suggested anyone opposed to one should be shot, and bought into the whole QAnon nonsense. There is a reason Minecraft hardly acknowledges his existence anymore, Mojang distanced themselves from him because of his behaviour.

Fair enough, thank you for the information.
