What does "shitposting" mean?

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

1: did you see that shitpost on my tumblr this morning?
2: no, i hate shitposting

Shitposting - what does it mean?

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.

Shitposting - meaning

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.

That guy shitposting images of his shitty "dank" memes deserves to die violently in a Nuclear Genocide.

Shitposting

(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.

(originally) Decent Person: Hey, look at this thing
Shitposter: Fuck you only a retard like Tommy Wiseau could think of downy shit like that go neck YOURSELF REEEEEEEEEEEE
Decent Person: wtf
(how Twitter uses it) "Shitposter": uwu
*Gets 1 like*
"Shitposter": Haha, look mom everyone loves my shitposting! It's so amazing!

Shitposting

An ironic art form of expressive yet apathetic funposting practiced only on s4s, the philosophical meme factory board on 4 CHAN.
