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:

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.

[–]AcidMind 179 points180 points ago

That's insane, just a brain steering a meat suit.

[–]Shadrach77 50 points51 points ago

Ever since Robocop 2 I've thought this. I look around at people and realize that they are a brain staring at me while sitting in a, as you put it, meat suit.

The clip

[–]cleverlyannoying 4 points5 points ago

Same for me, but not Robocop... I started thinking this after reading Watchmen.

[–]Bofors 601 points602 points ago

Is he ok?

[–]rvweber 388 points389 points ago

Yes, he was given a local anesthetic.

[–]spupy 143 points144 points ago

He needs a global one by the looks of it.

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 61 points62 points ago

Someone stole his skeleton jelly :/

[–]strategosInfinitum 15 points16 points ago

You should never use global variables.

[–]diceroll123 8 points9 points ago

Nonono. You should never use GOTO.

[–]strategosInfinitum 5 points6 points ago

but i just love spaghetti.

[–]elbruce 95 points96 points ago

None of his nerve endings were cut, so it didn't hurt him at all.

[–]alexxerth 47 points48 points ago

I'd imagine it would sting like hell regardless, considering it's exposed to open air.

[–]elbruce 62 points63 points ago

Good point. We'll need to work on that potential design flaw going into phase II of the project.

[–]DeathsEmbassy 22 points23 points ago

Next time the operation will be performed in a compete vacuum. No air for the exposed nerves so the patient should be completely fine!

[–]kukkuzejt 63 points64 points ago

Severing at the brain stem should do the trick.

EDIT: From the downvotes, I can tell I hit a raw nerve. Or is it that you guys don't like gallows humor?

[–]whatupnig 35 points36 points ago

I'm assuming this is from the 'Bodies' exhibit... amazing exhibit if you get the chance to go... DO IT!

[–]heebath 10 points11 points ago

Yep, it came here a few years ago and this was my favorite part. Right at the end they let you hold a brain. Very interesting exhibit!

[–]jeezitsjesus 11 points12 points ago

The bodies exhibit was fantastic, but all the rumors surrounding how they got the bodies weirded me out even more than the exhibit itself. Also, they are all Asian.

[–]whatupnig 7 points8 points ago

There were a few moments that literally shook me to my soul, it always felt like the eyes were looking you. Great exhibit though!

[–]Lionzlove 3 points4 points ago

That's exactly why I don't want to see that exhibit.

[–]NightOwl58 32 points33 points ago

'Tis a flesh wound.

[–]Lj27 85 points86 points ago

no, I tell you he dead.

[–]LuaAndTheOwls 158 points159 points ago

The eyes creep me out.

[–]DarkBlueMullet[S] 79 points80 points ago

Yeah, me too. Kinda reminds me of his noodliness.

[–]Ace1999 7 points8 points ago

So there IS a god. Checkmate atheists.

[–]yesitsnicholas 3 points4 points ago

The eyes have MASSIVE nerves coming out of them, called the Optic nerve(s), which are incredibly difficult to keep intact. I envy whoever got to see this IRL :(

This kills the person

[–]Lnozell 15 points16 points ago

Or the man, or woman donated their body to science, so when they pass, they can still be useful.

EDIT: accidentally plural'ed a noun

[–]absolutebeginners 75 points76 points ago

Or its from the bodies exhibit which used executed chinese prisoners

[–]Lnozell 15 points16 points ago

I finally get a reference!

[–]cchurchcp 5 points6 points ago

Can you help the rest of us?

[–]Lnozell 28 points29 points ago

In China, there is a huge demand of almost every organ, so the Chinese government decided to forcibly make Chinese prisoners organ donors. So essentially if you die in prison in China, your organs go to other people without your consent.

[–]ChagSC 61 points62 points ago

Good. You don't need organs when you're dead.

[–]FatCat433 12 points13 points ago

You don't know that.

[–]Decency 10 points11 points ago

I also don't know that I won't need to be buried with coins in my eyesockets to pay the ferryman to take me across the river Styx to the underworld.

But I'm pretty sure. ;)

[–]FatCat433 9 points10 points ago

You actually have to use bills to pay him now. What with inflation and all.

[–]bratfap 7 points8 points ago

CONSPIRACY WITH PROBABLE LIKELIHOOD: Maybe Chinese prisoners meet untimely ends in order to provide precious organs to needy patients and/or exhibits of body parts?

Thank you, Chinese prisoners, for your service to humanity. Now, please resume your regular activities of suffering in dreadful, inhumane prisons with no hope of relief or freedom.

[–]OneBigBug 2 points3 points ago

It's really not much of a reference, to be honest. Pretty much all the information is in the sentence. The bodies exhibit used executed Chinese prisoners.

[–]moronthannot 30 points31 points ago

I am skeleton jelly.. I am skeleton jelly.

[–]Grizeldabowski 11 points12 points ago

My brain... is made... of tiny... ANIMALS!

[–]nwsreddit 51 points52 points ago

I'm surprised the area around the balls isn't a bird's nest of nerves. Certainly seems like it is.

[–]Assmeat 72 points73 points ago

Those nerves are so small they are nearly impossible to dissect. It's amazing they have this much intact.

[–]richbe 17 points18 points ago

yeah um how did they do that?!

[–]PillPod 24 points25 points ago

Why does that guy have to wear that hat? Looks like an Indiana Jones villain. Freaks me out.

[–]Aschebescher 6 points7 points ago

That's just how he rolls.

[–]statikuz 5 points6 points ago

Yeah for some reason I think I would feel better if he were dressed up more like the host guy. :)

[–]klparrot 4 points5 points ago

I think it makes him almost a dead ringer for Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[–]BoColdBlooded 10 points11 points ago

Thank you for this! That was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm watching every single one of those videos.

[–]versii 7 points8 points ago

That poor old man is naked.

I am going to watch the shit out of this, though.

[–]pwnies 6 points7 points ago

Honestly I'd rather be the old man than the other naked guy. That's gotta be an awkward day.

[–]richbe 7 points8 points ago

ew ah can't watch it

[–]jaketessem 2 points3 points ago

Thanks for posting this! It was really cool to watch!

[–]factshack 6 points7 points ago

maybe it's a lady?

[–]PlasmaBurns 8 points9 points ago

Ladies actually have more nerves in their equipment than men do.

[–]SteveBuscemisEyes 24 points25 points ago

Dude, no pictures allowed at the Bodies Exhibit. You're going to get in soooo much trouble.

[–]yayblah 7 points8 points ago

Except he got this, and the title from "i fucking love science" on facebook

[–]fitizen 4 points5 points ago

Why aren't they allowed?

[–]yParticle 18 points19 points ago

what? we can't have people looking at stuff without giving us money!

[–]IFUCKINGLOVEMETH 10 points11 points ago

Dead people are camera shy.

[–]SteveBuscemisEyes 4 points5 points ago

It was a $30 dollar ticket to go view the exhibit while I visited one at the Luxor in Las Vegas. They probably want to keep the experience exclusive.

[–]bigrich1776 14 points15 points ago

This reminds me of the part in Watchmen as Osterman is turning into Dr. Manhattan

[–]hemsley 14 points15 points ago

How do they go about doing this?

[–]Zazzerpan 32 points33 points ago

Take one (1) Chinese prisoner carefully dissect corpse. Send as a gift to America.

I don't actually know where the body came from (no one does, they were sent as a gift from China with little to no documentation as to the source) but I believe it's from the BODIES exhibition that goes around the country. It's just careful, tedious work with a scalpel I imagine.

[–]Dissectionist 6 points7 points ago

Scalpels, scissors, forceps, and a bone saw.

One person would have some trouble getting it done, but a small team probably did this. It all starts with locating the nerves, tracing them, and removing the tissue around them.

[–]letsgocrazy 2 points3 points ago

What makes you say China? I saw this exhibition years ago in East London and there were places you could go to sign up to donate your body. Most of the exhibits were similar volunteers.

I'd even dare say they mostly looked Caucasian. Not that you can tell from the inside.

Anyway, these exhibitions are privately run, so donations from the Chinese government wouldn't make sense, and indeed surely giving dead bodies as gifts to any nation or individual would be ridiculous.

[–]hemsley 4 points5 points ago

Thanks. It must have taken so long.

[–]Zazzerpan 6 points7 points ago

This may be of interest to you. It's their FAQ.

[–]hemsley 6 points7 points ago

The timing varies. A small organ can take one week to prepare, whereas the process can take up to one year to prepare a whole body.

I guess it's around a year then. Thanks.

[–]Mumrik 26 points27 points ago

If this doesn't convert people to pastafarians I don't know what will?!

[–]ObLIVi0n75 10 points11 points ago

Minus the flying. Though we should really work on that.

[–]semifraki 4 points5 points ago

Yea, deep down, we're really just terrestrial spaghetti monsters.

[–]maruraba 8 points9 points ago

Scraping all of that shit out of a cadaver would be a pain in the ass, and would take days. It'd look great on a resume, though.

[–]Dissectionist 11 points12 points ago

would take months

[–]NyQuilNyQuilNyQuil 1 point2 points ago

FYi, they dot actually dissect out every nerve. They use plastination method of injected dies to infuse plastics into the tissue while also taking out the cellular components. it takes a very long time and you can do it for other organ systems like the beautiful liver circulation trees. One of the specimens in our plastination lab is on exhibits at the national history museum in NYC!

[–]excommunicated 0 points1 point ago

In school the first time we saw a body opened up I remember being shocked at how large the nerves were. I mistook them for veins at first.
