Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Why don't companies have someone in product development who's entire job is to point out less than desirable ways people will use their products, or protect against rule 34 or the like? The internet has been around long enough that it shouldn't have been a surprise that there were people who wanted to fuck a plastic lamprey eel. How as this even surprising?

Because that employee would be by far the most overworked one in most companies?

Or maybe just because most companies don't care as long as you keep giving them money without costing them any 🤷

And HR would hate them.

The "Hey, did you know that you can Fuck this?" Guy.

I’d replace HR with that guy honestly
