Some people would get in trouble at work if they were caught browsing Lemmy. Period. Therefore every post, and the entire website, is NSFW.

You define it that broadly and it’s meaningless.

It’s not belittling anyone. It’s about having an actual line and not making NSFW into a meaningless term.

Seriously, if you define “NSFW” as anything ANYONE won’t want to be caught doing at work, all of Lemmy is NSFW. Your personal definition of “I might get embarrassed by it” is equally meaningless and, again, would result in the entire website simply labeling everything NSFW.

Oh, what if I work in a conservative workplace and don’t want to get caught browsing a liberal sub? Guess everything liberal or left leaning is NSFW!

Oh wait, I’d be embarrassed by people knowing I have relationship problems, so any relationship advice is now NSFW.

I don’t want my co-workers to think I’m a dumbass, so anything like NoStupidQuestions or ELI5 is also inherently NSFW.

You want to broaden the NSFW term to the point of being meaningless, and have everyone else moderate their posts to your ill-defined benefit. It’s so meaningless that the tag may as well not exist at that point.

That’s a you problem, not a content problem, though.

Are we obligated to mark SpongeBob SquarePants as NSFW because you’re worried co-workers are going to be judgemental if they caught you watching it at work?

No. That’s just a fully clothed character. Any workplace where that would be considered “NSFW” is the kind of place where getting caught browsing Lemmy at all is NSFW.

Not just screens. Books are just as bad. Human eyes aren’t really optimized for staring at a single fixed distance for hours at a time, every single day.

The US already has plenty of that

Isn’t that more of a renaissance thing

I’m a big fan of Destruction Manual by Lord of the Lost

“pourable” is used to describe wine about as often as “theoretically non-toxic”

Because it isn’t a Boeing contract

Lol. People want Boeing to fail, because they’re corrupt, lying, poorly engineered pieces of shit riding on bribed politicians. They’ve already deliberately caused the deaths of hundreds of people due to willful and deliberate negligence to save a buck.

Nobody’s wanting the astronauts to die. And they won’t, they’re safe on the space station, and there are multiple options to get them home safe even if they have to abandon the POS Starliner to do it.

Honestly just keep your old ones.

Speaker technology hasn’t exactly advanced by leaps and bounds like graphics. The greatest innovations have mainly been adding RGB lights and manufacturing then more cheaply.

So they can use time machines that somehow only work for living matter

Oh they’ll come back down, for sure.

On the starliner, or on a SpaceX rescue ship is the question. Lol.

Yeah but he got a bitchin soundtrack

People have been coping for so long it’s practically a genre in literature. People are convincing themselves so hard that immortality is a curse, yet literally zero people have actually experienced it.

Humanity’s sourest grapes.

Wait, are essential oils supposed to be anything more than fragrances you stick in a humidifier thing?

It kind of is. It’s an extra variable introduced to account for a bunch of things that aren’t adding up.

Aether was the same thing, until people discovered electromagnetic fields. People knew light was a wave. Waves travel faster through more solid mediums. Light is pretty damn fast. Space is pretty empty.

Things didn’t add up. Light is simultaneously traveling through possibly the stiffest material in the known universe while also through nothing at all. People had to come up with Aether to try to explain that.

It was wrong, but it was an obvious placeholder acknowledging that something huge is missing from our current theories.

Imagine being assigned to the most reliable ship in your country’s navy

Stainless? Us REAL chumps are using rusty screws salvaged from the junkyard!
