So what happens if you want to delete a post you made earlier? Is that possible? Or are we stuck with whatever we posted for all eternity?

Depends. Refer to nip-09

But assume that once something is out there, it cannot reliably be retracted.

You are stuck. You can ask relays to delete it. But people can keep a copy of your signed (and thus verifiable) message

Kinda like a tweet. It can be deleted but it's always possible that someone took a screenshot or otherwise saved it somehow (of course it's not cryptographically verifiable)
