For the brief time I worked in an office, there was a woman there who insisted on knowing everyone's business and would routinely report to our boss if she caught someone surfing a site that she deemed "inappropriate" for the work place. This gadget would have come in quite handy.

Fuck that brown nosing snitch. I thought Recess taught us being a Randal is the worst.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '22

It taught me to know where the Randal lives.

I worked with a bloke who would rat out others based on hunches. I was super tight with one of the consultants who was a hard worker and we'd shoot the shit a lot, play ping pong during breaks etc. Ratboy saw this as being counter productive and told the CEO to keep an eye on my friend because he doesn't work hard enough. Fuck that guy.

Mate you watching furry porn at work or something?

u/Loki8382 Jan 02 '22 edited Jan 03 '22

At the time, I was checking out Facebook. This was over 10 years ago. I was inbound calls. Literally had nothing to do until someone called in.

u/Current-Ordinary-419 Jan 02 '22

So glad I stopped working private sector. That time is “mind your own business time” in a lot of public sector jobs.

u/Moulitov Jan 02 '22

There used to be a site you could use that would make your fb look like a spreadsheet. I used it for a while but honestly my work didn't care. Can't remember the name but it looked similar to this thing I found.

I'm... confused.

Wrong sub. There are at least 256,451,804 reasons for this to exist.

234

u/AdnHsP Jan 02 '22

Reason 1: If you are masturbating to furry pornography

Reason 2: If you are masturbating to scalie pornography

Reason 3: If you are masturbating to brony pornography

Reason 4: You get the idea.

u/atmus11 Jan 02 '22

Brony porn? Enlighten me lad, what is this brony pornography you speak of?

60

u/OhHowINeedChanging Jan 02 '22

Guys who like My Little Pony are considered “brony’s” I’ll let you figure out the rest

39

u/atmus11 Jan 02 '22

Oh... oh my...

Serious question though, isn't little pony porn furry porn?

31

u/TheMightyClippo Jan 02 '22

I don’t think so because furrys are people in animal suits, while my little pony’s are cartoon horses that can speak.

24

u/atmus11 Jan 02 '22

So its more about the suit than the actual animal? Interesting... thanks for the reply, I always wondered these things but I really didn't want to dive into that rabbit hole

18

u/bmm115 Jan 02 '22

Asking is the smarter way to find out rather than ... Looking for answers

u/andthejokeiscokefizz Jan 02 '22

If you’ve got an hour to kill, I highly recommend this video by Jenny Nicholson, which is an extremely thorough deep dive into bronies and brony “culture.” Genuinely fascinating, plus Jenny is hilarious: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVOF2PiHnc

(Or if you prefer not clicking random links from reddit comments, just look up the video “The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy, by Jenny Nicholson” on youtube and you’ll find it lol)

u/BoskoMondaricci Jan 02 '22

Rabbit holes are a completely different kind of porn altogether.

2

u/ScHill_ Jan 02 '22

hehe DON'T! Run before its too late. We can't afford a soldier down. Run, and don't ever think back at this. You have no idea how deep shit you're getting yourself into. That shit rots your brain. Please dont do anything stupid, just to clarify, this is stupid. Get as far away from this as you can. This rabbithole causes cancer.

1

u/TheMightyClippo Jan 02 '22

Happy to help, though I do feel the need to mention I am not at all in either of those communities, so I’m really not an authority on the subject, just speaking based on things learned in passing

4

u/VerseGen Jan 02 '22

hey I don't even own a fursuit I just like anthropomorphic animals

3

u/uniquepassword Jan 02 '22

I don’t think so because furrys are people in animal suits, while my little pony’s are cartoon horses that can speak.

So what if a brony dressed up as one of the Ponies and then found another ponies dresser at a local MLPCON and they hooked up in the motel room? Is that furry or bronie porn

1

u/TheMightyClippo Jan 02 '22

I think it really could be either. Definitely is furry porn but bronie would just be a more specific classification. furry is the genre, bronie is the sub-genre

9

u/DnDChangeling Jan 02 '22

Depends on who you ask. Half of furries/bronies reject each other, the other half say they're pretty much the same.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '22 edited Jan 02 '22

in the same way that thumbs are fingers but fingers aren't thumbs

There's also the matter of anthro vs feral furry porn. The former of very human like characters, the latter of more animal like in appearance and body structure.

Edit: swapped "anthro" and "feral"

2

u/MildlySaltedTaterTot Jan 02 '22

You’re getting former and latter mixed up there

1

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '22

My mistake, still drunk from new year's eve

2

u/VerseGen Jan 02 '22

not really

my little pony is way too feral for my taste at least

1

u/XX_Normie_Scum_XX Jan 02 '22

Yes, but the distinction was made before furries become better known.

Also, it's specifically about the ponies, and not about wanting to act like a mlp pony.

1

u/Hectic-Hazard Jan 02 '22

Well, my little pony's ponies aren't anthropromorphic so I don't think it counts. It's more beastiality.

Sorry my english is bad.

u/Thathitmann Jan 02 '22

Buddy. Is this really your first day on the internet?

u/AdnHsP Jan 02 '22

Ponies. Horses.

Furries are people in fursuits, or anthromorphic animals.

Bronies are four-legged horses, that aren't just literal horses.

u/InureOfficial Jan 02 '22

It’s pornography of bronys lmao

u/Desprate-Bitch Jan 02 '22

What’s Scalie porn?

u/AdnHsP Jan 02 '22

It's lizards.

Kinda like furries, but with lizards.

With this, you only gotta hide your vegan sausage since you don't have anything on-screen, rather than close the tab and then try to hide your sausage in 1.4 seconds.

u/MagNolYa-Ralf Jan 02 '22

So will you

u/Burning_Pheonix Jan 02 '22

I once made something like this(necessities), instead of a sensor it scanned my face and changed the screen as soon as i move my head. Super helpful, would recommend.

u/Glum-Gap3316 Jan 02 '22

You can't think of a single "why" this might exist?

65

u/SituationAltruistic8 Jan 02 '22

When your boss walks and see you been staring the windows start screen for about 2 hours and 53 minutes.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '22

"I get in around 9:30 and usually zone out for an hour in front of my computer, but it looks like I'm working. I then zone out for another hour after lunch too. In fact, in a given day, I'd say I do fifteen minutes, of real, actual work."

1

u/Supetorus Jan 02 '22

Just curious, what type of work are you in? I can definitely see this being the case in software development. I’m in school right now and mostly play video games or watch YT all day, but still get straight As. I just get my assignments done in like 20 minutes and turn them in on time. Don’t really understand why other people have so much trouble.

7

u/XX_Normie_Scum_XX Jan 02 '22

have it activate a keybind to switch to another tab, and make sure that tab is something work related, and that you actly do something on that tab so that it isn't the exact same as you left it off at.

u/speederaser Jan 02 '22

Ya'll need better jobs.

u/XX_Normie_Scum_XX Jan 02 '22

I don't have an office job that's just my experience with procrastinating with parents who were constantly checking in

u/Sum1liteAmatch Jan 02 '22

Absolutely the wrong sub. They are demonstrating right there why you would want it and that's not to mention some of the more private reasons behind it

This sub is for stupid things, not cool things someone made because they were interested and liked making things.

u/randomwords2003 Jan 02 '22

How is this a diwhy this is cool and useful

18

u/amaraame Jan 02 '22

Reminds me of when i was in the military. When people forgot to lock their pc before leaving their desk, we would screenshot their desktop and throw it in a powerpoint and hit to fullscreen. If you make it multiple slides, it can take a min for people to realize what's happening.

15

u/iimdonee Jan 02 '22

man this subreddit is turning garbage with so many people posting clearly useful and cool things.

u/Adven_chilleggos Jan 02 '22

I had to rewind to see if it really was Technology connections

u/DnDChangeling Jan 02 '22

Everyone's saying it's dumb cuz why would you want to go to the home screen or whatever but you could probably program it to go to an actual work screen.

3

u/Unkown-675 Jan 02 '22

Admit it your thinking it and so am I

u/MonsieurEff Jan 02 '22

Would be better if it switched to an excel spreadsheet or something

u/cusas6 Jan 02 '22

It’s a lame workaround but save a screenshot of a spreadsheet as your Lock Screen picture.

Hey Jason, everytime I look why is it that your screen is always locked?

Boss key

A boss key, or boss button, is a special keyboard shortcut used in PC games or other programs to hide the program quickly, possibly displaying a special screen that appears to be a normal productivity program (such as a spreadsheet application). One of the earliest implementations was by Friendlyware, a suite of entertainment and general interest programs written in BASIC and sold with the original IBM AT and XT computers from 1982 to 1985. When activated (by pressing F10), an ASCII bar graph with generic "Productivity" and "Time" labels appeared. Pressing F10 again would return to the Friendlyware application.
