shitpost
A deliberately low-effort, absurd, or off-topic post — posted for the bit, not for the discourse.
Definitions
A post that's bad on purpose. Could be a cursed image, a nonsense one-liner, a meme that's three layers of irony deep. The whole point is that it shouldn't work — and when it does, it works hard. Entire subs (r/shittyfoodporn, r/dankmemes) are built on the genre.
As a verb: to post low-effort content, usually with comedic intent rather than malicious intent.
A deliberately low-quality, ironic, or absurd post made for amusement rather than substance, ubiquitous in crypto communities.
As a verb, to flood a feed or chat with such throwaway, provocative, or nonsensical posts, usually to entertain or troll rather than inform.
