Not Safe For Work is a warning so if you’re browsing at work you know not to click on a link that might embarrass you if people are looking over your shoulder. It’s not about nakedness per se, but is more about what’s acceptable to look at in front of others in a professional setting.

I hope you wanted a serious answer…

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Also a good response.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Do you understand what Not Safe For WORK means?

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago

Whip your dick out at work and get back to us

Because you don’t want to see it at work

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 19 hours ago

Not just work, any public setting...

I'm convinced most of them people upset about NSFW never leave their own living space, or worse, they do and just don't ever think of people around them

It's just such a weird take because whether or not others filter doesn't effect them.

Because you don’t want [your boss] to see it at work

Because people like to keep their jobs?

The S isn't for "scared".

Europeans can watch porn at work and not get in trouble for it?

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

One of my colleagues in Scotland got sacked for doing exactly that, so nope. Playing Doom, knitting or reading a book was allowed, watching porn was not.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yup, it's us.

We're a bunch of fuckin' idiots.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

More like raised by puritanical idiots with a government that is closely tied to the catholic church.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 0 points 19 hours ago

It's for THEM. You do know that THEY are right here among us, don't you? But they would laugh themselves to death when they saw our bodies naked. Therefore it must never happen!
