(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.)
It was pretty gross. Not quite as bad as goat.se.
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.
I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I guess.
I suspect that there's also a rather large overlap in the Venn Diagram of "people who use Github regularly" and "people who are sufficiently mentally toasted as to regularly make implausible errors".
I guess that packets from the brain sometimes suffer from a kind of race condition as they arrive at the fingers.
Maybe it's related to fact that we're surprisingly good at reading words with teh lettres shffuled aorund. Perhaps my brain is trying to type a word at a time, instead of individual letters, so the packets go out in parallel. Perhaps the last point has something to do with the fact that my native language is Korean, where a word is written as a compact two-dimensional arrangement of symbols rather than a simple sequence of symbols. I dunno, it just happens a lot.
Not all touch-typers use or ever even learned the formal touch-type method.
IDK if it's age-related decline (I'm not even quite 40 yet...) or what but now I make all those homophone and bizarre-letter-substitution errors that I never, ever used to, constantly. I have to re-read everything I type or I'll have a stupid error like that every few hundred words.
Yeah, I remember seeing this website as "a typo of github", but wasn't able to rediscover it.

Of course it’s actually already a real thing: http://www.gathub.com/?p=28
guthib: “You spelled it wrong.”
gatlib: “You spelled it wrong.” + Google Analytics
butbicket: “You spelled it wrong!” + meta refresh redirect...yet my W's web filter still blocks it.
But it can be browsed anyway: https://guthib.com/.git/logs/refs/heads/master
People were always telling me to use Google if I needed some information.
But I didn't speak English very well and always assumed it was goggle. Took me months to find the mistake.
I just assumed I'm too dumb for the internet and used Lycos or something.
No million tracking/analytics lines.
I respect that.
It’s not so clear-cut: https://github.com/GutHib
Apparently I spelled this one right. Or close enough.. xD

> I once thought I'd have to weight votes to keep crap off the frontpage, but I haven't had to yet. I wouldn't have predicted the frontpage would hold up so well, and I'm not sure why it has. Perhaps only the more thoughtful users care enough to submit and upvote links, so the marginal cost of one random new user approaches zero. Or perhaps the frontpage protects itself, by advertising what type of submission is expected.
Hearkens back to that feeling of all of us being internet citizens and laughing that I'm not the only one that makes this mistake.
Maybe I'm looking into it too much, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A copy of the GH home page but every image replaced with Strong Sad... now that's got potential. Or any number of other better uses of the domain name.
Qualities: punctual, effective communicator, attention to detail
You aren't badass for "being cool" with this imagery.
The person I'm replying to said "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."
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.

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.
A client being offended at something like that is a bit of a red flag for me...

Boss made me use boring stock photos instead :(
Kant or Heidegger probably wrote something similar.
[EDIT] I mean, contextually, if you're being weird about it or posting that kind of thing all the time, yeah, it could become NSFW. But I don't think sharing this particular thing maybe with a "warning: low-quality gif of Hasselhoff in speedo" in case anyone cares, is over the line.
EDIT: Actually, just checked. They did find it hilarious.
I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?
An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny".
As the HN comment guidelines suggest:
> Assume good faith.
Most people don’t have malicious intent. The biggest reason that the tech industry is so infamously misogynistic is because people don’t actually know much about the issues of gender, and don’t really know what is misogyny.
Let me make this a little clearer and more to the point: suggesting that a company of 80% women would appreciate a mild dick joke in the context of whether or not the joke is safe for work is enforcing a gender binary that both separates women from men (by suggesting that there’s different senses of humor between them) and erases non-binary people. If you can think about it this way I’m pretty sure you can see why it’s also misogynistic even if you’re being “positive” towards women, as well as problematic in general, without GP needing any malicious intent whatsoever. And it could be avoided just as easily by being educated and aware.
This isn’t some sort of “snowflake” shit, either. We just live in a society that perpetuates these harmful gender stereotypes even during water cooler chit-chat, and the only way to change it is to point it out.
Please also assume good faith.
Edit: I don’t like the tone that I wrote this comment in, and so I want to make myself clear that I’m not trying to attack anybody either. My point is really that comments can be harmful without being written with malicious intent, and pointing it out when possible is important if anybody wants to see that aspect of society change.
Ah yes, the classic "You're sexist for pointing out sexism" argument.
> An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny".
An interpretation which has nothing to do with the comments at hand, which is determining if some content is SFW or not.
> As the HN comment guidelines suggest: > Assume good faith.
Yes, that means assume good faith when there is uncertainty. I don't see much uncertainty in the post in question, they are fairly explicit about their point.
if a colleague were to share this image at work, i would tell them to stop wasting my time with this dumb stuff. if it was a member of a team i am leading i would tell them to stop goofing around and get back to work.
if on the other hand, someone would denounce this person for sharing inappropriate images, i would consider that an act of oppression. we are supposed to work together, and not against each other.
a work culture where every little transgression has severe consequences is not healthy.
if this image makes someone uncomfortable, they are welcome to talk to me and i will listen to learn why. i suspect most likely, it's not the image itself that's the problem, but the attitude of those who laugh at it. i will then talk to those people and do my best to get them to improve their attitude about such matters.
there are things that are inappropriate to do at work, and one of them is to make dumb jokes like this, but that doesn't make the image itself not safe for work.
and as for choosing my workplace, i come from a country where employees actually have rights. and one of those rights is to share their personal opinions, even if others disagree, as long as doing so is not disruptive. the idea that the leaders in the company can tell their employees what they are allowed to talk about or not is rather alien to me.
this doesn't mean that it's ok to say or share things that are hurtful. it only means that there is no topic that is a priori not allowed to be discussed at the work place.
if this image comes up because someone in my team actually did mistype their url, they may share it with the team, and if they have the appropriate attitude, they will dismiss it, denounce the maker of that website as juvenile and move on. if someone walks by, having no idea why this image is there on the screen, they may inquire about it, or come to me and ask me what that is supposed to be about. we'll check, find out and move on.
calling this image not safe for work, creates an environment of fear, that itself is not healthy and in the country where i come from, not acceptable.
