      Probably has to do with it not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging

      Would posting any other lie be a “shitpost”?

        It’s in the shitpost community, it’s like a textbook shitpost…

        When you watch TV do you say the actors are liars because they’re not actually the characters?

        It’s supposed to be stupid and ridiculous.

          Yeah because when I watch TV the only expectation I have is for the actors just to state falsehoods /s

          Apparently according to people like you, this community should’ve just been named falsehoods

            It basically is named c/falsehoods, it’s shitposting, I don’t get why this is so hard for you.

              Right shitpost just means shitty post without anything clever or funny about it /s

                  “See if you think it’s a lie, that proves it’s a shitpost!”

                  So shitpost just means “I don’t ever want to see this pointless, boring and unfunny misinformation”. Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

                    It’s satire, it mocks the idiocy of plugging AI into every single conceivable product or the current AI-will-solve-every-problem techbro overhype that’s constantly being talked about every day now.

                    Just cause you thought it was real and googled it doesn’t make it less of a shitpost my dude, sorry.

          Despite what you all think, shitpost doesn’t just mean “shitty post”.

            Key word there is “just”. It can include other things, but it can simply be a low effort post meant to infuriate people.

            Judging by the thread, and the fact that you keep dying on this hill, it worked beautifully on you.
