Urban Dictionary: Shitpost
www.urbandictionary.com
A post of little to no sincere insightful substance. Especially a "shit"(low)-effort/quality-post with the sole purpose to confuse, provoke, entertain or otherwise evoke an unproductive reaction. Often exemplified in surreal out-of-context posts. Shitposts can be many things including memes, spam, and bait - but rarely vice-versa. Unlike memes, shitposts have no template. Unlike spam, shitposts don't need repetition. Unlike bait, shitposts aren't designed for response.

    the justice warriors will always take things too seriously (ref: your bacon post)

    honestly just block their accounts and move on, they’ll not contribute anything else useful and will always be mad about everything you post.
