LPT: Turn safe search off, and you don’t even need the NSFW subreddits. You can search for adult anything and those results are guaranteed to contain porn. Usually, the more you scroll, more hard core it gets. When you go deep enough, you’ll eventually start finding furries too.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Are Furrys considered hard-core? I always thought it a little bit more silly than anything.

(no judgement)

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If all you know about is the sports mascot fursuits, keep it that way

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I know I don’t want to dig into this, but that one part of my brain is all….

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm. There are things you can't unsee.

You've been warned.

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Furry by itself is largely no longer considered shocking and may even be getting close to mundane, but the thing to remember is that furry pornography can be and often is also in another kinky category at the same time. I think people who are into furry stuff (which includes myself, I'm not being judgemental either) may be more likely to be sexually "adventurous" in other ways as well.

Don't have to go particularly deep if you search "furry porn", life hack

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

When you go deep enough

hehehe

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Less for crap sites, like Reddit or porn, which at my age in any case don't cause much interests, but the age prove also appears in movie streams classified as +18 and even +16, even in YouTube and not only in movies, also in some Music, like eg. Harakiri for the Sky - Funeral Dreams, because harsh content and others, blocked by the US Flanders moral.

Wanker loicense

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.

Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

The wank auditor will see you now.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh god I'm so nervous for my wanking practical test. I only just passed the wanking theory!

What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

It gets you to turn your head. It's not just a selfi.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Meh, just upload a dick pic.

You must show your id to access NSFW subreddits!

"oh no!"

changes www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com on the adress bar

"anyways"

Tho i remember when they removed compact reddit. But i think if they remove old.reddit.com, people will really start to leave, so they'll try to get rid of it quietly.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I do wonder how long they'll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don't want it but are worried about the backlash

Kids everywhere making deepfakes.

Well, that law aged like milk.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver's license.

[–] bl4kers@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago

This is still the case

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Come to the fediverse we have porn?

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁

John Perry Barlow was right: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes...we should balkanize the UK and US.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.

[–] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is that so? Why would anyone with an instance from another country give a shit about UK law? Honest question, I have no clue about these kind of laws.

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

The answer is if they don't theyre supposed to be blocked in the UK. Which... Who cares. Everyone on here can use a vpn

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

They'll get blocked in the UK. Which, to be honest for a non profit fediverse instance isn't going to be a bad thing as they'll loose traffic alongside any donations. Expect UK based instances to start doing something for their users. But there's lots of other verification options they could use.

I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don't remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com

TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeh, but it's available through your instance even though it's hosted there.....

Unsure how that is meant to work legally.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Such NSFW images and videos aren't hosted on other instances. Not mine, and not yours, sadly.

This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

With 72 years it is insulting for me to have to prove my age and the only thing they will prove will be my middle finger 😡

[–] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

They'll probably VPN to mainland Europe to sign up for their account.
