It gets used online for things, and there are whole communities devoted to shitposting, but I can’t find a clear set of rules for something to count as a shitpost. I remember querying whether a post on a shitposting community was witty enough to be a shitpost rather than just a shitty post, but of course not all the responses to that were terribly helpful!
I typically interpret it two ways:
- egregiously poor quality content, that does not contribute with a topic
- unpretentious content posted for the sake of fun and entertainment
Which is which depends on context.
If it had a clear definition, we wouldn’t need a name like shitposting for it.
I don’t follow your reasoning.
Cool!
It’s posts that are a step up from piss-posting, but below regular unmodified posting.
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It’s goal, to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It’s a port of call. Home away from home for diplomas, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. 500,000 Humans and aliens wraped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it’s our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258.
The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Now I want to rewatch season 1 again…
There’s a hole in your mind!
Thanks for asking this, OP. I’ve been wondering this same thing for awhile with no real results when I search.
I love this kind of thing and appreciate the humor. I don’t think it’s something that would come to me easily if I were to create one on my own, however.
But thank you for the illustration, it is helpful and made me smile :)
