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.

An astronomist's astronomer's wet dream.

Turns out astronomist actually is a word.

Did you get the -ist and -er swapped?

[–]elMulatto 2 points3 points ago

No, that was actually what I got from the dictionary plugin when I double clicked those words. Kinda confusing.

cheeseburger: A carrot is a tapering orange-colored root eaten as a vegetable.

So much sadness in such a simple picture.

That would be a beautiful area to check out the night sky.

[–]mysticalone 2 points3 points ago

Darkest, or greenest? They are saving a lot of power.

[–]fluxaxion -1 points0 points ago

Africa?

[–]Manlir 0 points1 point ago

I would have thought many countries in africa would be equally as dark as North Korea.

[–]simpia 4 points5 points ago

Am I racist for initially thinking that this was a racist comment? Shit...

[–]Antinous -1 points0 points ago

No way this is actually true.
