Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

those are flowers in a vase.

[–]slay_belle 23 points24 points ago

Indeed they are. Alstroemerias to be exact.

[–]bonkus 79 points80 points ago

I CAME HERE TO SAY THIS AND YOU HAD ALREADY SAID IT SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY WHAT I'M SAYING NOW AND THEN GO BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE.

[–]FuckCAMEHERETOSAYguy 73 points74 points ago

Fuck that guy

[–]Doomdoomkittydoom 5 points6 points ago

Don't ya just hate the sensationalist headlines these days!

[–]Just_Repeats_You 4 points5 points ago

those are flowers in a vase.

[–]HousePlant 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, that ain't me.

[–]EnorMoose 0 points1 point ago

I think it's an urn...

[–]Qaz668 0 points1 point ago

No one will ever believe you.

[–]harcomarms 32 points33 points ago

bowl of petunias: "oh no, not again"

[–]not_galactic_police 5 points6 points ago

The urge to kill Arthur Dent grows stronger.

[–]Daneruu 2 points3 points ago

It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probability, a sperm whale had been called into existence, several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity. This is what it thought, as it fell:

"Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!"

[–]durtysox 4 points5 points ago

Agrajag at peace. Blessed be St. Murray

[–]drachenstern -3 points-2 points ago

CHTST: was not disappoint

[–]doyouunderstandlife 29 points30 points ago

NEED KARMA? POST ANY PICTURE OF BILL MURRAY AND YOU CAN WATCH THE UPVOTES JUST ROLL IN!

Also, I predict at least 10 "No one will ever believe you" type jokes in this thread.

[–]SkitTrick[S] -1 points0 points ago

I was actually trying to see if this was true. I posted and went to bed, now my jaw won't close.

[–]TheSizzler34 30 points31 points ago

Why the hell is this nearing the front page?

[–]FuckTheUnions 16 points17 points ago

Because Reddit is a giant circlejerk.

[–]HooterNanny_ -1 points0 points ago

I'm sorry if it offended you that I like Bill Murray

[–]TimOsterblan 4 points5 points ago

No one is offended. It's just kind of silly how Reddit is so infatuated with Bill Murray. To me, and I want to stress that this is just my opinion, it seems Reddit just loves Bill Murray because he's one of the "classic" comedians. Murray is largely popular for stuff he did before most redditors were even born, so by liking Bill Murray, a bunch of redditors feel so edgy, or so above modern culture. It's the same as how Reddit glorifies cultural icons of the past, while admonishing modern celebrities and so on. I think Bill Murray is fine. I bet he's super talented, and an interesting person. But so much of it is bullshit.

In conclusion, bacon is way overrated. And Redditors are so beyond their age...

Edit: The only video games I like are sports video games, usually made by EA.

[–]larpas 0 points1 point ago

Have you seen Groundhogs Day? That movie is awesome. And don't even get me started on Ghostbusters.

[–]TheSizzler34 1 point2 points ago

I don't think anyone is offended that you like Bill Murray. I like the guy too. What we're frustrated by is that the point of the front pages is so we can easily browse the funniest and most interesting content. This is neither of those, therefor it has no business near the front page. Hey look guys a picture of Sean Connery with a broom. Why?

[–]Electro_Sapien -2 points-1 points ago

No the point of the front page is to browse the most interesting/funniest content according to the community, not just you. Obviously the community finds bill Murray awesome to behold hence why this has received so many upvotes. I think what you're looking for is a image browser based of your own likes and an algorithm, try stumble upon.

[–]HaruntheFerret -5 points-4 points ago

Because it's BILL FUCKING MURRAY

[–]wanking_the_monkey 1 point2 points ago

Please stop with that saying!

[–]larediggz 10 points11 points ago

And what is the point of this?

That's my father.

[–]The_Real_Bill_Murray 6 points7 points ago

Have you finished cleaning your room yet? It's been a week. When you're done with that, how about making a name for yourself and stop riding my coat tails?

I'm just busting your balls. Go get some more flowers and a vase, don't forget the camera!

[–]BillMurrayismyFather -1 points0 points ago

Always bitching aren't you? I heard you the first time! I'm going to stay at Uncle Egon's.

[–]zwirlo 13 points14 points ago

I don't know what I expected...

[–]sirploko 9 points10 points ago

Pot and soil?

[–]BShears -3 points-2 points ago

Dead dove.

[–]kruffles 7 points8 points ago

Those are broken flowers

[–]Butterbemme 0 points1 point ago

I see what you did there, downvoters di'ant.

[–]eibjj -3 points-2 points ago

Came here to say just this.

[–]hunter9 4 points5 points ago

Anyone know what watch that is?

[–]HeadshotsInc 3 points4 points ago

$30 timex easy reader (I'm wearing one right now)

[–]monolithe 3 points4 points ago

Came here to ask that, r/watches, get in here.

[–]GummyGummerson 1 point2 points ago

Somebody is trying to suppress the watch thread!

[–]CitrusFreak12 2 points3 points ago

Yeah what the heck is with the downvotes? Very odd.

Does any picture of Bill Murray just grant automatic Upvotes now?

[–]gutterpunx0x 0 points1 point ago

I love how you can add Bill Murry to a picture of literally anything and it hits front page

[–]blurio 1 point2 points ago

I have the same watch as Bill Murray!

[–]joynt 1 point2 points ago

What kind is it?

[–]blurio 0 points1 point ago

An older timex easy reader.

[–]Youngmanandthelake 2 points3 points ago

Bill Murray and a former sperm whale.

[–]Syntih 4 points5 points ago

the worst part about this picture, is that it could actually be the title of a bill murray movie

coming this winter

"Bill Murray and a potted plant"

directed by wes anderson

[–]SkitTrick[S] 0 points1 point ago

I would, in fact, watch the shit out of that movie.

[–]youregonnaloveme 2 points3 points ago

How does Bill Murray stay hard long enough for you all to keep sucking his dick?

[–]contrarianism 2 points3 points ago

yeah this guy needs to go away

[–]patt1s[!] 1 point2 points ago

Not a "potted plant"

[–]Gruebenfunk 1 point2 points ago

I love how few fucks it always looks like Bill Murray is giving.

[–]kristopho -1 points0 points ago

Those plants are not potted.

[–]TheVictoryHat 0 points1 point ago

If Bill Murray called me in the middle of the night and told me he needs me to help him fight a street gang I would be there no questions asked.

[–]talzer 1 point2 points ago

Not again....

[–]rgzzo -2 points-1 points ago

Damn. I enjoyed Zombieland so much, that everytime I see/hear B.M., the F. have to come between them.

[–]pankratov2 1 point2 points ago

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

[–]elmerion 1 point2 points ago

Why do i want to hug this man so bad?

[–]golem91488 -2 points-1 points ago

WHY IS THIS FUNNY.

[–]tekno45 4 points5 points ago

This is pics, not /r/funny

[–]golem91488 0 points1 point ago

I should have gone with, why am I finding this funny. After I read it now, I can see how it could be misinterpreted.

[–]boondoggie42 -1 points0 points ago

YOU CAN'T LEAVE! ALL THE PLANTS WILL DIE!

[–]Need_To_Sleep -1 points0 points ago

Indeed it is

[–]funkybum -1 points0 points ago

It is an urn of a deceased relative where he managed to grow a flower out of respect.

[–]bloodjun 0 points1 point ago

Anybody ever seen Broken Flowers? Awesome little flick.

[–]catsfive -2 points-1 points ago

I hated it. And I'm a BM fan. But that's just me. Why'd you like it? I thought it kinda went nowhere and was trying to trade on the cuteness of his understated acting without actually having a decent script.

[–]pendergrassrock -2 points-1 points ago

and a sick-ass shirt.

[–]you_sir_are_wrong -2 points-1 points ago

He looks so lonely...like in broken flowers

This is not the type of potted plant I'd expect from Bill Murray.

[–]niecy713 -1 points0 points ago

I came here thinking Bill Murray would be talking to the potted plant.

[–]platinumgovner -1 points0 points ago

My roommate who works on the Late Show told me that Bill Murray was Tim Burton's first choice for Willy Wonka.

[–]trampus1 -2 points-1 points ago

I read this as Bill Murray AS a potted plant and thought Little Shop of Horrors was in for the best reboot ever.

[–]The_Kief_Chief 0 points1 point ago

The resemblance is striking.

[–]mothershipq -2 points-1 points ago

Can someone do an AMA request for Bill Murray already?

[–]Smaktat 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you Bill Murray I bet they'll believe it this time.

Proof that Bill Murray is the source of Plants vs Zombies.

[–]banderwocky -2 points-1 points ago

I wonder if anyone can ask him to do a photo of him ironing a kitten. Like Steve Martin.

[–]diggernaught -2 points-1 points ago

Bill Murray, all potted up, playing with plants again. Just like we know him.

Actually, the Alstroemerias politely asked for a photo with him after seeing him in a midwestern McDonalds getting a Shrek theme'd McFlurry.

[–]CheapeOne -2 points-1 points ago

That plant really ties the room together!

[–]Eustace__Bagge -1 points0 points ago

So close.

Bill "ghost-busting-ass" Murray

I am just wondering what he keeps in his pocket all the time so it looks folded like it is here. Glasses? Money-clip?

Can someone photoshop Bill into Leon the Professional? Many thanks.

Thanks for not letting Ghostbusters get ruined. Also thanks for letting it be in theaters last season. I'd like to go see it again, it's still a better movie than the new shit that I've haven't seen ads for. Thanks BM! doubt he reads this, but that's okay, I'll watch Ghostbusters anyway

It is a pretty compelling picture. The man has one of those faces which really can say 1000 words.

My life would probably be better if I found the time to watch every film BIll Murray has ever been in.
