You know, if you want something to be safe for work, maybe it shouldn't have the word 'porn' in its name.

You know, if you want something to be safe for work, maybe it shouldn't have the word 'porn' in its name.

I was going to say that the "-porn" suffix is pretty widely used and well-understood at this point by everyone who isn't being wilfully obtuse - Foodporn, motor porn, renovation porn, ruin porn and so forth (all safe for work links) - but it's apparently still a term on the cusp. Searching for "reno porn" rather than "renovation porn", for example, seems to be dominated by actual pornography staring people named after the Nevada city of the same name.

Searching for inanimate objects with the "-porn" suffix seems to work some of the time - earthporn, and the first hit for Astroporn leads right back to Metafilter - but it seem like searching for anything animate plus porn will take you to actual porn of that thing. I guess there really aren't any exceptions to Rule 34, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Which is all to say two things, the first being that while I initially disagreed with you I have to admit you've got a point, and the second being that I'm pretty glad Firefox has a convenient "scrub the last hour of your browsing history" button.

That EarthPorn batch is most a Festival of Saturation, but there's some good stuff in there. The Panorama of Popo is pretty nice.

this suffix scheme leads to the mother of all unfortunate naming decisions

Funny story just now. I never visit Reddit (MeFi loyalist?) but I did for this. And oh look, real porn. Clicky clicky OH MY GOD IT'S A PICTURE OF A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
