They occur in around 80% of Asians, and 80% to 85% of Native American infants. Approximately 90% of Polynesians and Micronesians are born with slate grey nevus, as are about 46% of children in Latin America, where they are associated with non-European descent. These spots also appear on 5–10% of babies of full Caucasian descent. African American babies have slate grey nevus at a frequencies of 90% to 96%.

i'm guessing that you're not writing about the article but the photo used in that Wikipedia article.

what's nsfw about a photo of a 6 months old baby, used to demonstrate the birthmark that's the subject of the article?

are even baby bums nsfw now?

It’s a bare bum? While not at all sexual, it isn’t something I’d want my boss to see me looking at while at work. Hence the not safe for work tag

Not ther person you responded too, but people at work should be considered very conservative with any kind of nudity. At least that's my opinion. Yes, you're right its not sexual, but that image is not something I would want to be looking at during work.

People still take nsfw as the point of the tag, since they scroll at work. Which, that's kinda on them if you ask me, but the nsfw tag is a courtesy originally intended for people at work so they could avoid rings that may cause issues in that setting, rather than specifically for sexual images.

Youre mistaking NSFL and NSFW.

I wouldn't open any baby bum at work with my boss beside me.

so you open lemmy "at work with your boss beside you"?

🤔

don't you have work to do?

NSFW it or I'll nuke it. The community has spoken. Nudity is generally covered in things NSFW.

Both my son and daughter had Mongolian spots when they were really young.

The daycare my son goes to pulled me aside one afternoon while I was picking him up and accused me of hitting him. They thought the mogoilian spots he had on his arse were bruises from me hitting him.

I told them, no they are in fact moglian spots, and him being part asian means it's a very common thing.

I got up her for not having noticed this before. My son had been going to the same place with the same workers since he was 6 months old, he was 3 when they thought it was bashing him. This woman and her co-workers would have changed his nappy 100's of times.
