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.

"This is sooooo going on Facebook..."

[–]DusterHogan 10 points11 points ago

God, I hate these self-indulgent Earth glamour shots taken in the mirror. The world really has changed.

[–]SirDawid -1 points0 points ago

Karma Decay is worth bookmarking. No hate intended.

Wow that's incredibly helpful. Thanks!

One of the most incredible self-portraits of out time - countless hours by hundreds/thousands of men went behind it.

[–]Manger57 0 points1 point ago

Amazing.

[–]bumblebeesscareme 0 points1 point ago

Good guy astronaut, doesn't need to see himself in a mirror to take a picture.

[–]Pappy3223 1 point2 points ago

Isn't the sun green? Outside of our atmosphere?

[–]Korben__Dallas 4 points5 points ago

I think it would more likely be white, but I don't have a source at the moment.

Edit:

The Sun's stellar classification, based on spectral class, is G2V, and is informally designated as a yellow dwarf, because its visible radiation is most intense in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum and although its color is white, from the surface of the Earth it may appear yellow because of atmospheric scattering of blue light.[16]

Can't stop wondering what kind of camera it is.

"omq best profile pic everrrr"

[–]JasonGalt 0 points1 point ago

If only myspace were still around...

[–]totally_not_donny 0 points1 point ago

One of the coolest things about this is that the Sun is a fucking star. He's not on Earth, with a sunset in the background. That's a fucking star in the background.

[–]cesiumtea 0 points1 point ago

One might call it the "myspace" angle

[–]Palchez 0 points1 point ago

Hey bro, check it out, infinity shot.
