What's on your mug?

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.

Why does this image of a possum with a gun say "triangle"? You wouldn't get it. It's just a shitpost.

1. (noun) any content on the internet whose humor derives from its surreal nature and/or its lack of clear context. Differs from a meme: whereas a meme's humor comes from its repeatability, a shitpost is funny simply because it isn't a predictable repetition of an existing form. Shitposts can become memes, but memes cannot become shitposts. 2. (verb) to create such a post A person who shitposts is known as a shitposter

Humorous posts made for the sole purpose of driving people or groups off topic or for no reason at all. Quality of shitposts may be gold or actual shit. Often confused with meme.

I was browsing shitposts on Reddit today.
