They occur in around 80% of Asians, and 80% to 85% of Native American infants.

What's wild is us humans are stripped and spotted, like cows, but you can only see it in ultraviolet.

They're called Blaschko's lines and they're invisible to our eyes.

Calm down Jeffery Epstein

i'm guessing that you're not writing about the article but the photo used in that Wikipedia article.

what's nsfw about a photo of a 6 months old baby, used to demonstrate the birthmark that's the subject of the article?

are even baby bums nsfw now?

People still take nsfw as the point of the tag, since they scroll at work. Which, that's kinda on them if you ask me, but the nsfw tag is a courtesy originally intended for people at work so they could avoid rings that may cause issues in that setting, rather than specifically for sexual images.

It’s a bare bum? While not at all sexual, it isn’t something I’d want my boss to see me looking at while at work. Hence the not safe for work tag

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 hours ago

Not ther person you responded too, but people at work should be considered very conservative with any kind of nudity. At least that's my opinion. Yes, you're right its not sexual, but that image is not something I would want to be looking at during work.

Youre mistaking NSFL and NSFW.

I wouldn't open any baby bum at work with my boss beside me.

NSFW it or I'll nuke it. The community has spoken. Nudity is generally covered in things NSFW.

Super cringe. I'll take the hate, though, if it means I don't have to look at an exposed ass unless I want to.

That's not what you wrote originally though? Don't write "the community has spoken" immediately followed by "I don't care what you all do, I do what I like". That's kinda the opposite of what you postured as in the beginning.

Or was that the royal We and you are the community?

And that's regardless of the fact that I agree that the photo falls under the original definition of NSFW.

Members of the community have made their opinions known to me, and asked specifically that this instance of nudity be marked as Not Safe For Work. It's a reasonable request and an easy fix that I cannot do myself. The buttons I have let me lock posts, nuke posts, and ban people, but all I need is a button that lets me NSFW the thumbnail of an otherwise cromulent post.

I personally want to consent to view a NSFW/NSFL thing, whether it's as innocuous as a baby ass or something of a greater magnitude. We just have to all come to an agreement on where the boundaries are. Full resolution ass cracks seem to set the lower boundary.

And I do care what you all do. I misspoke if it came across that I'm only out for mine, or I'm drunk with banhammer power. I care. Deeply. Especially at 2:14am. The Fediverse is still so very small and tenuous, and we (royal and otherwise) are still figuring out how to navigate and interact and exist in the space. So now we know something new. And Royal We have to fix the sidebar again.
