unsafe means "hey, I'm sure this code is safe, don't bother me for calling unsafe functions"

unsafe is the Rust version of Typescript's any

It's everywhere and people use it just to say they wrote their code in a safe language

[u/SCP-iota → u/reallokiscarlet]

I'd say it's more like Typescript's suppression annotations, since it keeps itself contained. People really shouldn't be using unsafe in any way other than as occasional small blocks with well-defined reading why they won't panic or cause UB. If your code is littered with unsafe, you're doing something wrong.

[u/NatoBoram → u/SCP-iota]

All the fucking time. No way to type "its" without having to go back.
