No, I've genuinely never seen the point of NSFW tags.

If you're worried about NSFW tags you shouldn't be using the resource that might have them under whatever circumstances are making you worry about NSFW tags.

Have some self control, the internet ain't your nanny, take responsibility for what resources you use and when, don't try to shift the blame onto the people providing you with said resources (and for free, no less!).

Hey, if you don't want to work, don't, but don't blame lemmy when you do something not allowed by whatever contract you signed.

The concept of "not suitable for work" is absurd by definition; if you signed a contract that will get you penalised if you browse a certain type of content, just don't browse sites which might contain that type of content while you work, it's not rocket science, just basic self control.

Lemmy and the internet ain't your nanny, if you're working you're hopefully an adult, so be responsible for your own actions and don't try to switch the blame onto unrelated third parties.

Other times they are at work while browsing

Well, there's your problem. What in fuck's name are you doing wasting time on lemmy when you should be working..?

And, if for some unconscionable reason you need lemmy for work and your IT aren't competent enough to have blocked it in the company firewall, just make yourself a work-specific user and browse by subscribed (though if you really needed it for work you'd almost certainly be going to specific communities anyway, not to the aggregated views...

None of Lemmy is safe for work.

When you're at work you should be working, not wasting time doomscrolling.

Either mark every single post as NSFW, or none of them, same difference.

Well, I'm about to go to sleep, so that's good, I guess.

I don't think as much when I'm asleep, or at least I don't remember, and if I'm lucky I might dream that the world is not like it is, which would be nice...

Y'know that physics principle called the lever principle, or principle of moment..?

Thing is, if you grab a bottle by the neck and try to tilt it, you have to deal with the whole momentum / mass of the bottle, which is a significant amount of torque on your wrist, especially if you're awkwardly trying to hold a cap that's clearly not designed to be held this way at the same time.

If you instead violently rip the cap out in an entirely justified fit of righteous rage and grab the bottle by it's center of mass, as normal people do and have done since bottles have existed (well, except for the cap bit; that shit is rather new), you can effortlessly spin it to whatever angle you want, with perfect control all the way.

Of course you can always hold it with two hands, which might be what you meant, but that's a rather stupid waste of a free hand when most bottles are designed to be holdable with one single hand.

Luckily I'm not American, but I've never seen one of these contraptions that didn't spin freely (and most of the ones I've seen spin freely and dangle all over the place, since the cap is tethered to the ring with a flexible strip of plastic).

It's a weight attached to a ring placed around a cylinder, after all. It's bound to spin freely, it's inherent to the design.

You can rotate the bottle before taking a sip to position it such that the cap doesn't hit your face.

And gravity will make the cap spin around, hit your face, get in the way of the liquid, and make it splash everywhere but your mouth.

You can also pour liquid out of the bottle without having it run into the cap using the same rotation technique before pouring.

Same issue. As soon as you tip the bottle the cap will spin (apparently whatever genius designed this useless annoyance didn't realise that bottle necks are cylindrical), get in the way of the liquid, and make it spill everywhere but the container you're trying to pour it into.

They're like a Pythagorean cup without the temperance lesson and well thought out design.

The only way to use these without wasting 99% of the liquid and making a mess is to either awkwardly try to hold them up as you pour, or to violently rip them out before pouring in an entirely justified fit of righteous rage.

What an utterly infuriating waste of plastic, time, and money.
