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.

Step 1: get wooden toothpick

Step 2: sharpen toothpick (unless smoll enough)

Step 3: patiently remove all the wool/dust/fiber in the charge hole. It looks like belly button lint.

Step 4: your usb works again, and you didn't need to change your 1000$ phone ffs

Step 3 is actually break off the toothpick in the port.

Step 4 is find that tiny sewing needle someone got you in a little sewing kit as a gift as if your not some kind of goblin.

Step 5 wow this needle works great why did I think putting a literal splinter into my phone's charge port was a good idea?

Metal bad for gold, wood breaks but does not scratch metal. Plastic works too but ive had more success with wood since i can shape it

Plastic disposable dental picks work better.

Perfect size to clean out a USB port without any chance of a short, and they're crazy cheap.

Holy smokes, this actually worked! Still like my wireless charger but dang it'll be nice to charge at places without one again
