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.

Okay.. I'm gonna try to remember this from 2 years ago since the play. but soft what light through yonder window breaks? it is east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief. be not her maid since she is envious. Her vestal livery is green and non but fools do wear. Cast it off.

Bumbo seats are only for the floor, never for the counter. If the baby were to tip over on that counter he could land skull down on the ground.

[–]Youreahugeidiot 25 points26 points ago

You mean they don't bounce?

[–]Osiris32 5 points6 points ago

Bumbos bounce!!

[–]theagitatist 3 points4 points ago

I would think that you'd need an adapter.

[–]neuromonkey 0 points1 point ago

As I suggested, I've never tested baby pressure.

[–]agranderscale 32 points33 points ago

The poor people at Bumbo keep taking heat for this even though they are very clear about this point. Great product, shitty consumers. THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE LAWN DARTS PEOPLE!

[–]mspinkyy 10 points11 points ago

I keep saying this. Tired of people giving me shit for buying a bumbo because OMG THEY'RE NOT SAFE! Well actually, they are if you use them as the company intended and supervise your child.

[–]neuromonkey 5 points6 points ago

Every Bumbo should come with a Lawn Dart launcher.

One of my friends put her baby in one on the counter... The baby ended up on the floor with a cracked skull. Fun!

[–]darkside17 18 points19 points ago

Didn't all the Bumbo chairs get recalled because of this recently?

[–]rooftops 2 points3 points ago

Recalled, and they've released new ones with a safety harness. Although from what I can tell it's just glued on? Weird IMO.

[–]toomuchpork 0 points1 point ago

How much for a little green eyed one?

[–]Aureoloss 0 points1 point ago

Only to place a warning sticker on them

[–]sekoye 5 points6 points ago

Nope, there is a retrofit kit as well with a seatbelt.

[–]pdmavid 6 points7 points ago

There were 80 parents (out of the 4 million seats sold) who had issues with baby's wiggling and falling out of the chair (over half of which were actually from an elevated surface - the other was unknown elevation), and most of these injuries were cracked skulls. The seatbelt is being put on to prevent kids from wiggling out and cracking there skulls. Guess what... I've watched my baby in these things. If they do wiggle out or tip it over at floor level, there's no way they could crack their skulls. That's probably because the fractures all came from the falls off elevated surfaces (which is clearly warned against). I think its stupid they felt they had to recall it over this.

The warning they placed on them should be enough:

"NEVER USE ON A RAISED SURFACE. Designed for floor level use only. Never leave your baby unattended as the seat is NOT DESIGNED TO BE TOTALLY RESTRICTIVE and MAY NOT PREVENT RELEASE OF YOUR BABY IN THE EVENT OF VIGOROUS MOVEMENT."

[–]toomuchpork 4 points5 points ago

How many were frauds? "ooops I dropped the baby again...grab the Bumbo... lets go to the hospital...then the lawyers."

[–]_mach 1 point2 points ago

which clearly helps if your kid is falling from a counter... right?

Honestly, this is so stupid - guess what? You can put a child in a baby seat for a car, put said baby seat on a counter too and have the kid fall off.

[–]neuromonkey 1 point2 points ago

Fill Bumbo with concrete.

[–]suspekt54 2 points3 points ago

If you contact them try will send you straps to attach to it! These had only just gone back on sale in the uk after being withdrawn! Still getting one though! Great product!

[–]TedDansonsforehead 3 points4 points ago

They are absolutely amazing! Especially with the high rate of Plagiocephaly these days. For fear of suffocation many parents keep their children on their backs too long and this results in misshapen skulls. The Bumbo chair is a great way to keep your youngsters head up even if they can't sit on their own.

[–]The_Alex_ 1 point2 points ago

Then another baby could take his place, hold his broken skull aloft, and exclaim

"Alas Poor Yorick, I knew thee well"

[–]clickwir 1 point2 points ago

It says so right on the Bumbo. If people want to put their kids in precarious locations, that's their own problem.

[–]Thomas_Granger -1 points0 points ago

Not that I care if their child cracks his skull open. But OP, or whomever took this picture is a fucking idiot.

[–]pillowpal 0 points1 point ago

Not necessarily. There is an adult right next to the baby, they are taking the picture. It is still super dangerous, but they might not be a fucking idiot.

[–]Thomas_Granger -1 points0 points ago

Doing the exact same thing that has caused 50 injuries and 19 skull fractures since '07, and doing it with a product that has been recalled for this reason, and then putting the damn kid on a fucking kitchen counter that almost certainly has a tile or laminate floor below it even though the chair is intended for use on the floor only, and then taking a picture of it and posting it on the internet...

That's definition "fucking idiot" right there.

[–]mikek3 0 points1 point ago

Bumbos rule.

[–]Not_A_Hipster_ 0 points1 point ago

That is why there was a major recall of them earlier this year.

[–]bgarlick 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say this, they can be death traps

[–]lucy_inthessky 1 point2 points ago

There is obviously an adult RIGHT THERE. Bumbos are meant to be used with supervision. Thank you, internet guardian for making sure that everyone is safe.

[–]pillowpal -1 points0 points ago

You're welcome.

[–]TedDansonsforehead -1 points0 points ago

They just issued a major recall about a month ago. I already ordered the kit for mine. Be careful with these chairs!!

[–]Geoff_Kay 44 points45 points ago

[–]ThatOneFemale 53 points54 points ago

Just FYI, there's been a safety recall put out on those things. Also the counter is not a safe place for them.

Still, adorable.

[–]Ohang 25 points26 points ago

There was only a recall because of irresponsible parents leaving children unattended in them, and on places where they do not belong.

If the kid can sit up by themselves, they are way to big to be still sitting in them, and that was another reason with the recall. Irresponsible parents are the cause for perfectly good items being recalled.

[–]biznatch11 7 points8 points ago

Maybe they should recall the parents instead.

[–]Tylurnol 9 points10 points ago

(extra FYI's)

There is a safety kit you can get from the Bumbo people (free) to install a strap onto them to avoid letting the baby fall out. Still, with enough movement the entire chair can fall, but the strap reduces movement enough to make it that much more safe( although it's still not recommended you leave your baby on a high surface... ever (unless supervised very closely))

You can order a bumbo repair kit here

[–]whatupnig 2 points3 points ago

What's funny is the recall is DUE to people putting their kids on top of the counter, exactly like the idiot OP.

[–]fyeahdmiles 0 points1 point ago

The original recall was because people were putting them on counters and tables and stuff. My nephew and niece use(d) them, but always on the floor. And as Tylurnol pointed out, you can buy kits for the latest recall.

[–]brebrefosheezie[S] 18 points19 points ago

FYI- It's a friend's baby, they aren't bad parents, they took the picture, and were obviously watching the baby on the counter, stop judging. ALSO, THIS--http://i.imgur.com/MJtNH.jpg

[–]futurama_mama 1 point2 points ago

We had one of these, I loved setting it on the counter, then sitting my son in it and standing face to face to talk with him. With my hands on the counter or resting on the sides of the bumbo. It was a great way to talk and make eye contact with him in a different place while he looked around without killing my back for a couple minutes. Even with an autistic four year old, there was never a distraction that would mean I took my eyes off my son, if I needed to turn, I picked him up first. Period.

Now I don't see a parent standing that close in this picture, but I still don't think it's fair to say that putting a bumbo on a counter in every circumstance makes you a bad parent. But bad parenting sure is giving the bumbo company the roll-over. It's a damn shame, they're fun seats for little ones.

[–]pillowpal 0 points1 point ago

As the top "critical" comment I would like to say that I don't support the theory that the people who took the picture are bad parents. But here's the thing. Observant people, careful people, prepared people - they can do things that other people think they can also do. I am trying to warn the less observant, less careful, and less prepared from making a mistake. Some of us know we get easily distracted and that because of this we shouldn't place our children in precarious positions (though I have no children).

I imagine the people who use instagram taking all of their MP3s and adding static to make it sound like it is being played on an Edison Cylinder Phonograph.

[–]Wait_What_Happened 8 points9 points ago

Well, its official. Instagram openly and unquestionably accepted by reddit, and no picture will make the frontpage without it (check for yourself) Its a sad day. Maybe while were at it, we'll autotune all the music.

This next piece is called "Sonnet 155", or "If Shakespeare Had Written a Porn", and it goes like this:

I saw the morning dew betwixt thine thighs
As I removed my source of Grecian power
As if King Midas dared to touch the skies
Upon thy body fell a golden shower

Thy body's temples, two church bells had rung
Upon thy chest, a row of pearls bestowed
The sun had set, thy set with wary hung
I thought, How black a night, and blue a lode

I said, What light through yonder beaver breaks?
It is the yeast

And now my belly's yellow
My pole gives cause to storms and earthy quakes
But 'tis not massive, I am no Othello

And when that final moment came to pass
Like Christ I came, a-riding on an ass

- Bo Burnham

I see people have already said it, but I will point it out again - these were recalled for children getting injured and flipping out of them. I'd highly suggest that, even if you don't return it to the store (which you should), please, for the love of god, don't put your child on the counter with it. wtf

I'm getting tired of square, bordered, sepia, fuzzy photos everywhere. It wouldn't bug me so much if it didn't creep into my own life. Yesterday the baby sitter took a picture of our kid being super cute and sent it to us. Square stupid looking photo. Just take it as a normal photo damnit.
