shitposting is posting random low quality stuff on the internet

(in its original sense) Posting with little effort or care as to what will happen after you submit "post." Shitposting also occurs in subcategories:

- Actual shitposting: when you become so enraged that you rape your keyboard with your unholy fingers. Often, the resulting post will be deemed as unfunny, awful, racist, or in general of poor taste.

- Funny shitposting: when you think of a terrible idea to post on twitter dot com or some other website, and of which is often bizarre, full of eggcorns and other grammatical errors and general so bad it's good. Take @dril for example.

(how normalshitters use the word) any post which is just a mildly silly, #relatable or overused joke. It doesn't matter what the joke is, though usually it's involved with unfunny meme from 2013, like thicc or dank memes. Usually, if the post is on Twitter, it's actually a draft saved from two weeks ago. Also, "shitposting account" are usually only half of these, with the other half dedicated to retweets from literally who's rant on the patriarchy, "satisfying" stuff or in general boring shit one would expect Sally from middle school would post on her Tumblr blog.

When you post on Internet forums and don't give a shit what you're saying. In general, being a bad person.

shitposting is defein as posting shitty memes on the interweb while also being a dick

The act of posting images usually on a image board of things that no one wants to see, or make any kind of sense. People who usually do this end up making themselves looking like a complete idiot.

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.

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
