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.

I couldn't find any antique barrels of this size.

[–]dublbagn 0 points1 point ago

I thought the same thing....look at the closest corner barrel, and look at how big it is!!! when were barrels this big or people that small?

[–]littlemiss_blondie 0 points1 point ago

So you say it's not real because those are big barrels?

[–]dublbagn 2 points3 points ago

I am saying that those barrels seems to big to be practical for the time period, and it makes me question a few things in regards to the naming and "realness" (more the description ascribed to the picture) of the picture. Like how did they stack them like that? why would you burn alcohol? wouldn't it just be easier to just spill them out? Whats in the barrels?

if its beer (normal packaging for that time) it would not burn, if its whisky it would be bottled unless this is a picture at (or near) the distillery.. My thought is this is a family owned distillery picture somewhere in ireland or scotland...

[–]littlemiss_blondie 0 points1 point ago

They probably decided to burn it to send a message if it was during prohibition.

[–]dublbagn 1 point2 points ago

I understand that....but if its in casks (as pictured), alcohol of that period would more than likely explode, and if it were beer it would extinguish the fire (since those barrels look to be between 5 and 6 feet tall, they would hold a large amount of anything inside). They would have been better served to just dump it out.

I agree, looks completely bogus
