Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

that we know of
Placing orders to Bad Dragon just to ruin the day of the cops opening my packages.
You should order that one Cards Against Humanity "expansion" that's actually just a box full of cow shit
Ordering regular old boxes of cow shit would probably be cheaper tbh
i don't know what that thought didn't cross my brain
Too busy thinking about pig poop 
, not enough space in there for cattle poop
one time at Amazon I spent about 2 hours packing a shipment of 10 inch dildos.
the inspectors said they share only what they can see on the outside of the mail; the Fourth Amendment requires them to get a warrant to peek inside.
Not too egregious (at least the part they're telling us!). This is best filed under "imagine the coverage if China did this."
Me ordering those "eat bag of dicks gummies" to make hogs regret their mail snooping
:shocked-shocked-well-not-that-shocked:
I do a little light farming or heavy gardening, whichever ...
... farming is hard in my traveling profession ...
... quite often I'm not back home in time for my plowing or planting (that's awful) ...
... I knew the feds had been opening my mail for over 20 years ...
... reading all my personal, radical mail ...
... and it never bothered me because I figured them birds had to learn it somewhere...
... might as well be from my mail ...
... but then it occurred to me (in my predicament) having the FBI open your mail might come in handy ...
... I sent Sheila (my partner) a letter through the United States mail ...
... I said in it 'For god sake! don't plow up the backyard! that's where the guns are buried!' ...
... National Guard rolled up and dug up the whole backyard in time for me to plant the damn thing!

I thought this was common knowledge. USPS scans every single piece of mail, and you can receive a daily digest email (Informed Delivery) that contains these scanned photos. Don’t be surprised that they share this data with law enforcement.
And since the last mile for FedEx and Amazon are delivered by small companies owned by local rich guys and they share everything with their local cop friends for free.
