226 and 304 are, while funny, also a bit over the top IMO. It would be nice to have a "SFW" version of this page.

I'm genuinely surprised at how many people are in some way put off by the images. I wonder if there's a cultural thing about people who dislike dogs generally. These kind of comment streams are always a good reminder about how you can never anticipate other people's responses.

Well, it really depends on the context. Take this one:

I'd surely crack that joke with close friends, but at work I would absolutely not risk that, especially if I don't know whether the receiving party has a similar humor. Compare that with http.cat:

https://http.cat/304

It's a cute picture of cats. It might get an eyeroll, yes, but nobody is going to accuse me of an inappropriate joke for that. 226 is even worse and I know quite a few female colleagues which would probably not take it well, irrespective of it being a picture of a dog.

So? What's disturbing about an amputee?

501 is "not implemented". Makes a joke out of the missing limbs.
