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.

What the heck are "hula hoops"? (I am only familiar with the ones that you hold up by gyrating)

[–]moragc 37 points38 points ago

little ring shaped crisps

Also known as Ringolos

[–]solzhen 57 points58 points ago

3 of those words are in English

[–]EightFooted 0 points1 point ago

Ringolos are another (regional) brand name for the same item.

[–]Cullly 1 point2 points ago

No. They are not the same.

Ringolos are similar looking but are not even remotely as good tasting as hula hoops. Ringolos is a brand name of the Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods company and Hula Hoops is a brand name of KP Foods.

[–]EightFooted 0 points1 point ago

I am sorry to have offended you, I was basing my information on a google image search. Never had Hula Hoops.

[–]mrpineapplehouse -1 points0 points ago

cheerios

[–]MrDorkESQ 65 points66 points ago

Hula hoops in coffee, or you know Photoshop® image editing software.

edit: Re-scaled the owl overlay better.

If you notice, the contrast in the feathers and the beak almost exactly match up with the foam in the coffee. I have no idea how much blending the original creator of the the coffee image did around the eyes. It is obvious that they blurred the owl a bit. The owl was placed over the coffee image and a screen blending mode was used. The opacity of the overlay was then lowered to make the owl eyes in the coffee.

edit2: just for kicks, my cat Meg in coffee.

[–]KimJongIlSunglasses 2 points3 points ago

Wizard, right?

[–]vnkid 2 points3 points ago

Sorry but I'm goin' nuts looking for a cat in the second picture...

I KNEW I SAW AN OWL

Your coffee is horrifying.

[–]mcdbrendan 214 points215 points ago

I see an owl staring back at me... weird but cool

[–]pig_is_pigs 56 points57 points ago

That's because there's an owl Photoshopped in there.

[–]milk_b4_cereal 36 points37 points ago

This looks very Photoshopped

[–]tjm_hay 10 points11 points ago

yea...the coloration and edges (esp. around the eyes/iris) are definitely another image of an owls head layered over top.

[–]shnooqichoons 20 points21 points ago

when i first saw the thumbnail I thought- who names their owl 'hula hoops'?

[–]Speedraca 55 points56 points ago

What are these, hula hoops for ants?

[–]strayce 6 points7 points ago

Well, owl be damned.

[–]laserbeanz 4 points5 points ago

I don't know how you are confusing "owl" with "hula hoops"...but okay

[–]tardytotheparty 1 point2 points ago

I thought "Hula Hoops" was the name of his owl.

[–]laserbeanz -1 points0 points ago

Oh, well apparently it's a British snack. Crazy Brits.

[–]deanstreat[!] 1 point2 points ago

This is most definitely a bubbly owl

[–]kodfish36 3 points4 points ago

More like Hula Hoots.

[–]sarch 0 points1 point ago

I knew someone was on my wavelength.

[–]AcidicAndHostile 3 points4 points ago

fuckin' chills down my spine, wow.

Me too. I don't know why this is quite so creepy.

[–]Moth1996 3 points4 points ago

[–]zottz 0 points1 point ago

Add that to my list of things never to google. Ever. Or think about. Yeah. I have that. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. This feeling is terrible. I need a xanax.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. My worste nightmare. I can handle the gore, the obscure porn, /r/spacedicks but fuck you not that.

[–]totallygeeky 2 points3 points ago

Even though It is clearly fake?

[–]chaostrophy 0 points1 point ago

Logically it's not real, of course, but the illusion is presented well enough to make some people feel ill.

[–]totallygeeky 1 point2 points ago

I guess so, it would mostly be the kneejerk reaction.

[–]chaostrophy 0 points1 point ago

I have this "phobia" too and what I can recommend is to rub your hands over your bare arms or whatever skin you can access. I read that somewhere on reddit; it helps some (reassuring you physically that you're not suffering from the same photoshopped condition, I guess).

[–]laserbeanz -1 points0 points ago

Itchy.

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 0 points1 point ago

I thought you meant the toy Hula Hoops.. I was gonna say that's either a large ass cup of coffee, or hula hoops made for an ant.

[–]ErsatzCats -1 points0 points ago

Maybe the effect of the owl is achieved through using hula hoops in the reflection...?

[–]rightwing321 -1 points0 points ago

Nice repost, could've come up with a title that makes sense though.

[–]Pontefex 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought you had an owl named Hula Hoops and I thought you were a terrible person for submerging your owl in coffee.

[–]AndSoItWasWritten 0 points1 point ago
