You have first hand knowledge of what happened there to make it ironic. Judging by other comments, it seems like (at least for now) the photo alone, without context, isn’t very ironic. It really is your context that makes it ironic. You should add the context to the original post!

The only data actually on my PC are program files.
It’s certainly context that helps paint it as ironic, yes! These are all details that are definitely lost by just posting a photo on the internet and calling it ironic.
How can you possibly know who was driving the car? Furthermore, even if the red van wasn’t being driven by a learner, how can you know the events that led to this weren’t caused by a different car driven by a learner?
That’s not ironic. That’s not ironic at all. Of all the places I’d expect a collision to occur, I’d be least surprised to find out one occurred near a driving instructor. The people needing a driving instructor generally aren’t good at driving.
Edited to add: OP has added context to the situation here, https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18347533

Fun fact, those things aren’t dangerous to eat because they are toxic (usually, unless they’re coated with something else).
They’re dangerous to eat because they are choking hazards, or may cause an intestinal blockage. More likely in children but not impossible in adults.

I’m sorry that it came off as condescending. Truly, that was not the intent. Tone is difficult over text, but I was more going for an incredulous sarcasm that beckoned critical thinking.
No, stopping all USPS deliveries is not an option. They can usually hold mail for up to 30 days if you apply for it, but I think this even varies by local office.
You can, however, refuse some mail. This is a manual process. You can also apply to be removed from mailing lists, which is almost certainly what the other poster did.
ETA: instead of, or at least in addition to downvoting me could you comment to correct me?
For putting some crap in a box, taping on a flyer, and then lying on the internet?
You don’t actually think this happened, do you? Why would the post office ship a heavy package for free just because a no postage needed flyer is stuck to it?

As someone who also enjoyed the first two, I always felt 3 was underrated. Honestly think it holds up, too. Worst part was tacking on multiplayer imho, but that was extremely popular for most games at that time.
