    NSFL is just another name for gore or footage of death or injury. “Not safe for life” is not a thing. There’s no actual image that can kill you unless you have epilepsy or some other form of photosensitivity. I heard “Not safe for looking” but that’s an idiotic acronym, and most people don’t interpret NSFL that way at first, and it still has the connotation that it can physically harm you for some reason.

      I think nobody thinks about NSFL as some form of physical damage, but as something that could get you traumatized.

      I always thought it was “Not Safe For Lunch”, as in it could be vomit-inducing.
