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.

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...

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.

I don't understand why people upvote this garbage. Do they find it funny? Or interesting?

It's a Single Serving Site[0]. Not every URL needs to be a big diatribe of text.

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.)

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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