Doesn't have quite the style of http://pythong.org [NSFW]

(Didn't think to mark it until people commented, and technically there's no nudity, but if you are looking at it and someone passes your desk they'll THINK there is nudity, and if you are actually at work I think that passes the bar.)

[sebastianconcpt]

If for work your machine has installed Hubstaff or any of these hyper-invasive things that micromanagers love, then you can have the bad luck that a bad taste spicy pic get screenshot and shown in your user activity. But nobody ever should by any reason ever use these zero-privacy apps, right?

[kleene_op]

SFW. But this (probably) won't get me promoted!

[minitoar]

This reminds me of like 15 years ago when python.com was a porn site. Now it’s just a redirect to some sort of cam splash page.

[ChrisMarshallNY]

Better than the old lemonparty.com link (now a porn site, I think). We used to send that to scammers.

It was pretty gross. Not quite as bad as goat.se.

[mi_lk]

[nsfw]

[sschueller]

No it's not.

EDIT: It is not NSFW. If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you.

[googlryas]

They said "nsfw", not "not safe for me" or "this is porn". They're making a comment about workplace conditions, not their own viewpoints.

You aren't badass for "being cool" with this imagery.

[em-bee]

the image is boring and dumb. but a place where this is considered not safe is not a place where would want to work.

[googlryas]

Ok, and?

The person I'm replying to said "If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you."

[ohbtvz]

Good for you, but your values are not universal and not everyone has the same opportunity to choose their workplace as easily as you apparently do.

[em-bee]

this is not about different values but about oppression.

if a colleague were to share this image at work, i would tell them to stop wasting my time with this dumb stuff. if it was a member of a team i am leading i would tell them to stop goofing around and get back to work.

if on the other hand, someone would denounce this person for sharing inappropriate images, i would consider that an act of oppression. we are supposed to work together, and not against each other.

a work culture where every little transgression has severe consequences is not healthy.

if this image makes someone uncomfortable, they are welcome to talk to me and i will listen to learn why. i suspect most likely, it's not the image itself that's the problem, but the attitude of those who laugh at it. i will then talk to those people and do my best to get them to improve their attitude about such matters.

there are things that are inappropriate to do at work, and one of them is to make dumb jokes like this, but that doesn't make the image itself not safe for work.

and as for choosing my workplace, i come from a country where employees actually have rights. and one of those rights is to share their personal opinions, even if others disagree, as long as doing so is not disruptive. the idea that the leaders in the company can tell their employees what they are allowed to talk about or not is rather alien to me.

this doesn't mean that it's ok to say or share things that are hurtful. it only means that there is no topic that is a priori not allowed to be discussed at the work place.

if this image comes up because someone in my team actually did mistype their url, they may share it with the team, and if they have the appropriate attitude, they will dismiss it, denounce the maker of that website as juvenile and move on. if someone walks by, having no idea why this image is there on the screen, they may inquire about it, or come to me and ask me what that is supposed to be about. we'll check, find out and move on.

calling this image not safe for work, creates an environment of fear, that itself is not healthy and in the country where i come from, not acceptable.

It really depends on the degree to which your co-workers and clients lack a sense of humor.

For example, in the early 00's I was working for a company that built a lot of CMS sites. One of the test images my co-worker used was Yoda driving a go-kart. A customer got offended, so we were instructed to use really boring images that just had the word "test" on them.

[throwup]

I once got in trouble for using Bacon Ipsum as placeholder terms and conditions, since the client's project manager was vegan. I wish I was joking.

https://baconipsum.com/?paras=5&type=all-meat&start-with-lor...

[mynameisvlad]

This one I can kind of understand. Moreso than the Yoda one.

There’s a good chance at least one piece of copy will be missed when replacing the placeholder text, and for a vegan company, that can easily cause outrage for their customers since it’s just full of meat products. There are a lot of reasons for people being vegan and some hold incredibly strong beliefs on meat products.

[throwup]

To be clear, it wasn't a vegan company or even anything related to food -- it was a shipping company. There just happened to be someone who worked there who was an outspoken vegan.

[gw99]

Some people are waiting to be offended. I used Mighty Boosh as a test image a couple of years back and was told off for it.

[egeozcan]

This offended me by refusing to show anything without js! (I'm not serious, just in case that wasn't clear)

[nerdponx]

I am serious about that!

[osrec]

What about Yoda driving a go-kart is even remotely offensive?!

A client being offended at something like that is a bit of a red flag for me...

[Rebelgecko]

Since their story happened 20 years ago its probably not related, but Reddit banned r/LegoYoda because of the captions on some photos of Yoda driving a 2003 Honda Civic.

[prange]

Perhaps the client is an ‘American Jedi’.

[hahamrfunnyguy]

"It's completely unprofessional." is about what their reaction was.

[myko]

One time I built a product demo-ing a physician directory, I used pictures of Dr. Strange, Mr. T as Dr. T, Zoidberg–it was comedy gold.

Boss made me use boring stock photos instead :(

[metadat]

No it's not nsfw? Now I'm really confused, can I very paste this into slack #random or not?

[CharlesW]

Generally, it's considered best practice to not post "vaguely penis" content to official work communications channels.

[bogeholm]

Advice of the day!

Kant or Heidegger probably wrote something similar.

[yamtaddle]

It's just that gif of David Hasselhoff in a speedo where it keeps zooming in on his crotch and it's just more David Hasselhoffs in speedos forever. An image that I assume anyone who's even heard of the Internet has already seen a hundred times. I wouldn't call it NSFW, personally.

[EDIT] I mean, contextually, if you're being weird about it or posting that kind of thing all the time, yeah, it could become NSFW. But I don't think sharing this particular thing maybe with a "warning: low-quality gif of Hasselhoff in speedo" in case anyone cares, is over the line.

[numpad0]

NSFW had become an euphemism for p-o-r-n(w/exposed parts) and in that sense it’s not NSFW because. In literal sense it is. And that discrepancy is somewhat confusing.

[moron4hire]

I could at my job. My company is 80% women. They'd find it hilarious.

EDIT: Actually, just checked. They did find it hilarious.

[googlryas]

Women aren't the arbiter of what is sfw or nsfw.

I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?

[jlkuester7]

Pretty sure that your interpretation of their intent behind bringing up "women" says more about you then it does about them....

An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny".

As the HN comment guidelines suggest:

[ysavir]

Funny, but posting a NSFW site without a warning on a message board frequented by people at work is not okay.

[datalopers]

If that’s NSFW you need to stay off the internet.
